High-End Photography Companies Settle Trade Secrets Suit in Las Vegas

We first reported about this case here: http://wombletradesecrets.blogspot.com/2009/09/say-cheese-photography-studios-in.html.

Well, the Las Vegas Sun is reporting that this matter has settled.

Peter Lik USA charged in the lawsuit that Scottland, a former Peter Lik employee, had violated his noncompete agreement by soliciting the business of Peter Lik customers on behalf of The Lough Road.

The Lough Road has four galleries around the country and is preparing to open its first Las Vegas location, at MGM Mirage’s CityCenter complex, in December.

The Lough Road, which sells the works of landscape and wilderness photographer Rodney Lough Jr., had denied allegations in the lawsuit that Scottland had violated the noncompete agreement.
Court records show the suit was settled and dismissed last month, with Scottland’s noncompete agreement modified to allow him to continue working for The Lough Road and further amended to specify which customers Scottland could solicit.

This is how these matters often end, folks. So - there you have it.
