2.2 It is the plaintiffs' case that the defendant nos. 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14-

19, were formerly employed with the plaintiffs. During the course of their employment, the defendants had access to the plaintiffs' proprietary software, its source code, documentation, confidential data and trade secrets. The defendant employees clandestinely setup competing business entities, i.e., defendant nos. 1 to 3, when they were still employed by the plaintiffs. The defendants misused their association with the plaintiffs to misrepresent at large that they are associates of plaintiffs and diverted legitimate business of the plaintiffs to defendant nos. 1 to 3.
