Lawsuit alleges Palace ex-staffers took secrets

AUBURN HILLS (AP) -- The company that owns the Detroit Pistons is alleging that employees stole trade secrets when they quit to join a former executive at a sports-and-entertainment rival. The Detroit News recently said a lawsuit filed in Oakland County Circuit Court demands the return of confidential records and seeks a cash award. Palace Sports & Entertainment says at least nine employees have departed to join Tom Wilson at Ilitch Holdings, which controls the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings. Wilson was the head of the Pistons and Palace Sports until he resigned in February. He is not a defendant in the lawsuit. Palace Sports says it lost information that could be used to attract sponsors and vendors. Olympia Entertainment, an arm of Ilitch Holdings, says the lawsuit is "sour grapes."
