HID Global Corp., a maker of security identity products, turned to Natalie Bennett, Jason White and their team at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius to handle an intellectual property showdown with three former employees and the competing company they founded, Vector Flow Inc.

HID claimed that Vector Flows was founded using its own protected trade secrets. What’s more, HID claimed Vector was infringing an HID patent—a patent HID had purchased from Vector Flow’s founders back in 2015 where they themselves were the named inventors. (So much for arguing that patent is invalid!)
