On Thursday, U.S. federal prosecutors officially charged six Fitbit employees, both current and former, in an indictment for possession of stolen trade secrets from Jawbone. According to the indictment, these six employees once worked for Jawbone and received these secrets when they left the company.
In a huge victory for Fitbit in its ongoing battle with Jawbone, courts ruled that some of the crucial patents upon which Jawbone's case rested are invalid.
