"exfiltrated a cache of highly valuable Joby filings containing confidential partnerships terms, business and regulatory strategies, infrastructure strategies for vertiports and airport access, and technical information about Joby's aircraft and operations,"
"This is corporate espionage, planned and premeditated,"
"Joby is turning to baseless litigation in an attempt to distract from its own shortcomings and slow down its leading competitor,"
"Joby's case is entirely without merit. The complaint, regarding a non-technical employee who recently joined Archer in a business development role, does not identify a single specific trade secret let alone any evidence of misappropriation,"
Joby Aviation filed a lawsuit in Santa Cruz County Superior Court alleging Archer Aviation and former employee George Kivork misappropriated Joby trade secrets. Joby alleges Kivork exfiltrated a cache of confidential Joby filings two days before resigning, including partnership terms, business and regulatory strategies, infrastructure plans for vertiports and airport access, and technical information about Joby's aircraft and operations. Joby alleges Archer then approached a strategic partner and disclosed confidential terms from those files. Joby describes the conduct as corporate espionage. Archer denies the allegations, calling the case without merit and saying no specific trade secrets or evidence of misappropriation are identified.
