AirPro sues Drew, Opus, claiming unfair competition, breach of contract
Summary
]” “The parties further agreed that the information disclosed pursuant to that agreement would be used only for the purpose of evaluation, discussion, and potential partnerships between Drew Technologies, on the one hand, and either AirPro or CompuFlash, on the other,” the complaint states. Among that information, the suit alleges, were AirPro’s business model and pricing structure, and its successful use of AutoEnginuity’s Giotto scan tool with Drew’s Cardaq J2534 interface to provide remote diagnostic services to shops for a wide range of vehicles. Shortly after obtaining the information and technical knowledge from AirPro, and “certainly within the three year window contemplated by the Mutual Party Agreement,” Drew enhanced its Remote Assistance Program (RAP), making it a competing service, the complaint asserts. “In addition, we are willing to discuss a mutually beneficial solution with respect to any tools used for ‘self-directed and assisted scans.’ “We trust this adequately addresses the issues you raised and look forward to continuing and expanding our mutually beneficial partnership in this rapidly growing industry.” Herron responded on Oct. 4, “largely ignoring” the content of the email and threatening to stop sending AirPro further updates to the Giotto product, AirPro contends. The letter described the steps it had taken, including the removal of Ford trademarks and changes in the way it handled official scan software subscriptions used for individual body shops.
