On July 30, 2008, Judge J. Frederick Motz denied a motion for preliminary injunction brought against Dennis Glynn, a client of The Employment Law Group® law firm, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Glynn prevailed at a three-day hearing concerning alleged violation of a non-compete agreement, alleged violation of a non-solicitation clause, and alleged use of trade secrets. Following a hotly contested hearing, Judge Motz held that IST failed to demonstrate irreparable harm, failed to demonstrate a substantial likelihood that it would prevail on the merits of its claims, and that the public interest in developing innovative counter-IED technologies that will protect U.S. military personnel in the field trumps speculative allegations of unfair competition. A news article about the hearing was published in the Daily Record. Glynn brought a claim against his former employer Impact Science & Technology, a division of the large government contracting concern ITT, under the False Claims Act alleging that IST terminated his employment soon after he blew the whistle to IST management and to the Department of Defense about government contract fraud. Adam Carter, Scott Oswald and Jason Zuckerman represented Mr. Glynn.
