Susan Berson and Brent Henry Recognized as Health Care Trailblazers by the National Law Journal

The Mintz IP litigation team recently secured a successful outcome for client Recycle Track Systems (RTS). RTS provides waste management brokerage services that optimize trash pickup schedules, reduce waste, and enhance waste diversion for large corporations and municipalities. RTS provides this solution through a combination of proprietary software and hardware technology—namely, its Pello product.  RoadRunner Recycling, a former component supplier and partner of RTS, filed a trade secret suit against RTS over its Pello sensor technology. Specifically, RoadRunner sued RTS in the Northern District of California for trade misappropriation under the California Uniform Trade Secret Act and Defend Trade Secret Act and included in its complaint a number of breach of contract allegations as well.
