When an employee moves from one company to a rival it is inevitable that - no matter what contractual agreements or other procedures are in place - some key information will naturally follow them. Clearly if there has been a massive breach of an agreement then Hilton may have a case to answer, however even so I think that Starwood should just concentrate on building its own brand and stop publicising what its rival is doing so well!

I agree with Nick. When a person moves from one company to a rival, it is inevitable that he/she takes his/her ideas with them. And can you copyright ideas? On the other hand, if it can be proven that very specific product related information has been taken, the aggrieved party may have a case.

Agree with what's been said before but yes Bob intellectual copyright is every bit as solid as files, papers and discs. The problem is proving it. If Starwood can show that Denizen is based on info collated for the W brand, then Hilton has to be punished. On the other hand, you can't stop fair competition.

When an employee moves from one company to another,they secretly ensure data that benifits them moves with them, no matter what their contracts mention. Which is why IT security policies need to be followed to the last word.Most secure hotels disable USB/CD writing/ Floppy access,use features in the Hotel softwares (protect sensitive reports)which prevents confidential data from passing to unauthorised hands.Personal external email programs like gmail, hotmail etc are also blocked for this particular reason.Its a cutthroat business environment out there and there are people who are willing to go to any extent without ethics to get business.
