On Monday, June 19 2017, Gimme Vending, LLC filed a complaint accompanied by a Motion for Preliminary Injunction in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts related to a competing product. The relief sought by Gimme includes restraining VendSys and others from using, distributing, marketing, disclosing, benefiting from, promoting or selling any product that improperly uses Gimme Vending’s confidential and proprietary information, which was shared with VendSys in connection with a failed partnership.
The matter has been set for trial July 6.
Official motion
Plaintiff, Gimme Vending, LLC (“Gimme” or “Plaintiff”) brings this motion for a preliminary injunction (“PI”) to enjoin Defendants VendSys (“VendSys”), Synectic Software Solutions, Inc. (“Synectic”), and John C. Davies (“Davies”) (collectively, “Defendants”) from using, distributing, marketing, disclosing, benefiting from, promoting, selling, offering for sale and engaging in acts of unfair competition based on Defendants’ actions in inducing Gimme to share with them Gimme’s confidential, proprietary and copyright protected information under the guise of a partnership. Instead, the Defendants clandestinely used Gimme’s proprietary information as a time-saving how-to guide to launch a competing product.
