Trade-secret war over Hollywood set locations

By Eriq Gardner
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter)

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.
