Guardsmark v. Bowman et al.

In a settlement, former employees of Guardsmark and their current employer agreed to not solicit Guardsmark's customers and to not use Guardsmark's trade secrets for a period of one year. Guardsmark sued Derick Bowman, the former manager of its San Francisco branch for founding a competing security company. The settlement agreement, published in May, came after the court granted Guardsmark a preliminary injunction in February.
