AT&T Vows to Defend Against ‘Derogatory’ Averon Accusations

The complaint alleging AT&T “misappropriated” Averon’s trade secrets “appears aimed at gaining publicity for Averon,” emailed an AT&T spokesperson Wednesday. “We will defend ourselves against these derogatory accusations in court.” Averon didn’t comment. Digital identity verification platform Averon entered a motion Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, seeking leave to file the complaint against AT&T and mobile sign-in app ZenKey under seal to protect “confidential and proprietary information” (see 2210120040).
