Radiation therapy vendor Varian Medical Systems has filed a lawsuit in a Texas state court against radiation oncology firm Elekta, claiming that Elekta employees improperly gained access to Varian trade secret information, Elekta said.
The suit claims that two former Varian sales representatives recently hired by Elekta took and shared alleged trade secret information with Elekta employees in the late spring 2012.
Elekta intends to defend itself against the allegations made by Varian, the company said.
