Ex-Employees Enjoined in Clinical Drug Testing Companyâs Non-Compete Case
3 hours ago
A District of Oregon opinion issued on Monday granted Millennium Health LLCâs motion for a preliminary injunction against two former employees after they joined Nepenthe Laboratory Services LLC, a competitor. The court ruled that the employees likely breached their restrictive covenants when they solicited Millenniumâs clients after their departure.
According to the opinion, the clinical drug testing industry is both tightly regulated and fiercely competitive. This case centers on two employees, David Barba and Justin Monahan, who worked for Millennium in Portland, Oregon as sales representatives since 2014. In their roles, they were reportedly privy to trade secrets and confidential information like customer lists, finances, methodologies, processes, and pricing.
