Stolen Formulations
A former employee of Company A was discharged, started his own company (Company
B), and began producing a specialty coating. Company A, however, suspected that the
employee had actually stolen the proprietary formula for this coating. Polymer Solutions
Incorporated (PSI) was asked to analyze this coating from Company A and the
corresponding coating from Company B to objectively document their similarities and
differences.
After extensive analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Capillary gas chromatography (GC), PSI determined that the likelihood of the formula being identical
was very high. The corresponding coatings from the two companies showed virtually no
difference. The chances of this occurring by coincidence were astronomical.
