Shanghai Afute contended that Mr Tan and Stay Victory had misused its confidential Information and trade secrets as a “springboard” to unlawfully gain a head start in establishing the competing business.
However, the judge dismissed the claim that the defendants had tried to pass off Beyond Coffee as being the same as After Coffee, or that it was associated with Mr Lee. Mr Lee told The Straits Times through his lawyer, Mr Daniel Chia of Coleman Street Chambers: “We intend to seek our remedies to the maximum afforded by the law.”
After Mr Lee explained the concept of infused coffee and provided an outline of the master franchisee proposal, Mr Tan expressed interest and paid a $5,000 deposit.
