PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A now-former Stryker employee is denying allegations that she stole trade secrets from the company.
Stryker Corporation, which is headquartered in Portage MI, filed a federal lawsuit against Carrie Hendrick, alleging she downloaded confidential information and deleted more than 400 files from the company’s servers, according to documents filed Thursday, March 2 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.
According to MLive, Stryker alleged that Hendrick caused damages to the company of $25,000 or more. Hendrick denied the allegations in a March 9 response to the lawsuit.
She resigned in July of 2022 after working at Stryker in Virginia for about two years.
Her attorney however in response said in a legal filing that Hendrick did not improperly access files and download confidential information onto flash drives as Stryker accused of her doing.
A conference to discuss the case further is scheduled for Tuesday, April 4.
