Universal Locations is in the business of providing film locations for studios such as Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal (no relation), 20th Century Fox, and most of the big television networks.

In a new lawsuit, the company claims its secrets were stolen when two former employees took confidential information to competitor, Site to Site Locations.

Universal says it has scouted, marketed and listed over 5,000 properties for use in television and the movie industry, generating more than $50 million in location rentals. In the course of business, Universal has developed a database of information including customers' names, addresses, pricing, property profiles and contact information.

Turbon claims that once it had "methodically disclosed every intricate detail of its business", HP in January 2010 decided to cancel all plans to offer contracts to Turbon. The claimant accuses HP of then encouraging its customers to recycle their cartridges, rather than purchase replacements.
