When Your Former Boss Sues You for Starting a Startup

I've seen this kind of stunt before, in the SCO v. IBM lawsuit. Your defense is to get the court to require the other side to state specifically what they think you stole, or to drop the claim.

The law is on your side here. Vague claims aren't a part of a valid lawsuit. "Failure to state a claim actionable at law" may be the phrase you need.

But what you really need is lawyers, and IANAL.

Yes, thoughtful response, our lawyers are looking into this very strategy.

Unless it's part of your legal strategy, it's probably not advisable to discuss your strategy publicly, before or during legal proceedings.
