Photo Business News Forum: US Presswire “Steps In It” With MLB and Getty Images:

As the boys of summer were just getting into the swing of things, US Presswire hired an unemployed Peter Toriello after he was laid off from Getty four months prior where he was in charge of the Getty’s MLB relationship. USPW announced Toriello’s hire as “Director of Global Sales and Business Development” on March 4, 2009. What they didn’t announce was that in addition to Toriello’s physical capabilities, they also obtained a valuable knowledgebase of information about how Getty was handling the MLB contract. With Getty losing the NFL to the AP, the MLB deal becomes that much more important to Getty’s cache. What is in question is what potential proprietary trade secrets might Toriello have taken and/or shared with US Presswire, if any?
