Flexport has filed a lawsuit against its former employees, Bryan Lacaillade and Jason Zhao, alleging that they stole thousands of confidential files to establish a competitor, Freightmate AI. The lawsuit claims that both employees conspired to launch the rival company while they were still with Flexport, and Zhao allegedly downloaded numerous files using clandestine methods. While Flexport seeks to defend its intellectual property, Freightmate AI disputes the claims and plans to contest the lawsuit in court.
"Defendant Freightmate is a product of theft, not ingenuity," Flexport's lawyers wrote in a lawsuit filed in a California court on March 12.
"Zhao downloaded hundreds, sometimes thousands, of files per day onto personal USB drives or cloud storage, employing techniques to hide his tracks," the lawyers wrote.
