Procter & Gamble Co. said Friday that it is suing four
former employees of its Gillette division for sharing trade secrets
with competitor ShaveLogic.
P&G said the employees, who have been hired or retained by
Dallas-based ShaveLogic, breached contracts with Gillette by giving
ShaveLogic confidential information.
The suit, filed in a Boston court, is seeking damages and a jury
trial.
P&G bought Gillette Co. in 2005, adding the shaving company
to consumer-products brand such as Clairol and Pantene. P&G has
been shedding brands in recent months as it seeks to become more
nimble and speed up growth.
