With the backing of an all-star lineup from the San Francisco Bay Area white collar bar, five former employees of Fitbit Inc. and one current employee all pleaded not guilty this week to possessing stolen trade secrets.
Last month’s indictment alleged that Katherine Mogal, Ana Rosario, Patrick Narron, Patricio Romano, Rong “Audrey” Zhang and Jing Qui “Gee” Weiden, all of whom had joined Fitbit from competitor Jawbone, possessed information such as Jawbone’s technical and financial data, marketing plans, pricing information or other trade secrets after their departure from Jawbone.
