Wal-Mart files trade-secrets lawsuit
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. sued a former computer worker Friday, alleging the man stole trade secrets shortly before resigning to work out of state for another company.
The lawsuit, filed in Benton County Circuit Court, alleges that Daniel A. Doffermyre worked for the company for more than four years as a systems programmer and had access to confidential information on a UNIX-based operating system the company uses to support various software applications.
Before submitting his resignation Feb. 15, Doffermyre sent 10 e-mails, apparently to his home e-mail address, that contained 13.3 megabytes of Wal-Mart data, the lawsuit said.
