AT&T Moves Under Seal for Dismissal of Averon’s Trade-Secret Claims

AT&T seeks the dismissal with prejudice of all of Averon’s misappropriation of trade secrets claims, said its motion Tuesday (docket 1:22-cv-01341) in U.S. District Court for Delaware. U.S. District Judge Todd Hughes granted AT&T’s unopposed motion Wednesday to file under seal its brief in support of its dismissal motion. AT&T is alleged to have courted Averon as a business partner for its passwordless authentication technology, only to use that technology to form the ZenKey joint venture with T-Mobile and Verizon as a competitor to Averon (see 2301100002).
