Dear Learned Members:
We are coffee providing company and appointed one machine technician/employee through Man Power Agency (was an off roll employee associated with Man Power Agency), had worked in our clients sites/places to maintain coffee vending machine as a technician in Mumbai. In the site/places he had been caught doing some manipulation with our machine therefore started absconding, without our notice and thereafter he submitted his resignation to Man Power Agency, also they have accepted his resignation.
Now he joined our competitor and started disclosing our trade secrets to them, because of this we are facing major problem with our client.
Kindly let us know what legal action we can take for disclosing our trade secrets. We don’t have any agreement with but we have executed an agreement with Man Power Agency, but in that agreement we did not mention anything about this.
Can we suggest Man Power Agency to take action for disclosing our trade secrets .
Can we send legal notice to him from our end for disclosing our trade secret to our competitor.
Early reply would be approciated.
