Business Designs, Inc. (BDI) uses “digital thermal resin transfer imaging” in its specialty of producing signs and decals advertising car washes for service stations. The founder of the company spent a number of months developing the product. As business grew, he hired two employees who assisted with all phases of the work. The two employees became dissatisfied and joined a former employer who was starting a new company. The employees had not been required by BDI to sign noncompetition agreements, and the company did not have a formal confidentiality policy. The new company used the same imaging process. Within a week, the company was able to ship full sign packages to numerous former customers of BDI. BDI sued the former employees. What should the court decide? Why?
