Hi,
I worked for a company that makes a consumable porduct and
has a 90+% lock on market, They bought there competitor out
and have a monopoly on the entire technology. I as an ex
employee who never signed a nondiscolsure want to start a
business producing this consumable product. They have
verbally told me that they can sue me even though I have
never signed a non competition agreement or any sort of
nondiscolsure. The company is now about a 80-100 million $
a year business and sues who ever want to compete against
them. But for me I see that only $250,000 investment and
some good legall backing could only lead to a 15-25 million
dollar a year is revenue very easy. The customers have no
where else to buy the product. The product I believe cant
or really isnt patented. pleas help in telling me whether
or not the former employer has the grounds to sue me if I
want to start something like this.
Thanks
looking for patent/technology lawyer in pitt, PA willing to
look into this for me.
