PHILADELPHIA – Lyft is seeking to compel arbitration and stay all proceedings pending the outcome of that same arbitration, in the case of a Philadelphia entrepreneur and musician who claimed the company stole his concepts for the ride share company to engage with the needy without compensating him.
Marcus Pickett of Philadelphia first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Dec. 21 versus Lyft, Inc., of San Francisco, Calif.
“In 2016, Pickett created a concept to transform how Lyft promoted and increased its ridesharing business and engaged with and helped communities in need. Pickett’s ideas included that Lyft should combine and broaden the different existing ad hoc Lyft programs designed to help different communities, implement other ideas he had for programs, and combine them all into a single initiative that Pickett named “LyftUp,” the suit stated.
