“Noncompete” Agreement Emerges Between Smartmatic and Dominion Systems – Revealing at Least Some Level of Cooperation

Headlines Politics U.S.

According to recently reviewed documents, Dominion Systems was a defendant in a 2009 lawsuit against Smartmatic.

“The license agreement contained a noncompetition provision, which, among other things, prohibited Smartmatic from ‘develop[ing], market[ing] or sell[ing] any Licensed Product in the United States,’” reads a summary of law firm Potter Anderson Corroon.

These revelations were first reported by The National Pulse.

A follow-up lawsuit notes: “the agreement’s noncompetition provision prohibited the plaintiffs from selling the licensed products in the United States.”

Such non-compete agreements appear to belie repeated claims that no connection exists between the firms and that they are only “competitors in the marketplace.”
