Omnireps Amends Fraud Complaint vs. CDW by Adding 4 New Defendants

Plaintiff Omnireps amended its fraud complaint against computer reseller CDW by adding four defendants accused of engaging with CDW in civil conspiracy, tortious interference, corporate espionage, misappropriation of trade secrets and trademark, trade libel and racketeering, said its filing Tuesday (docket 1:23-cv-00868) in U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois in Chicago. The newly named defendants are Halo Technology, Amphenol, Inflexion Private Equity Partners and Add-On Computer Peripherals. Omnireps is seeking compensatory damages of $250 million for each count, plus statutory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs (see 2302140039). It also seeks an injunction restraining CDW and its affiliates from the use of the trademarked term Mindshare and from disparaging Omnireps and its owner, Todd Ferguson.
