Description
CHRISTIE, Judge. This is an appeal from a decision of the Court of Chancery denying a motion to dismiss a counterclaim. Plaintiffs below, appellants Rollins International, Inc. and International Bulk Distribution Corp. (hereafter referred to collectively as Rollins), initially sought an injunction against defendant below, appellee, International Hydronics Corporation (Hydronics), from disclosing certain specialized knowledge, technical know-how and trade secrets allegedly acquired from Rollins-Purle, Inc., a subsidiary of Rollins International, Inc., and from Purle Brothers Holdings, Ltd., an English corporation, to Hyon Services, Inc., an Illinois Corporation which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hydronics, or to any other person or firm. Such disclosure was alleged to be in breach of two agreements, one dated November 25, 1968, between Hydronics and the predecessor of International Bulk Distribution Corp. (The Matlack Corporation), and the other dated August 4, 1970, between Hydronics and Rollins International, Inc., whereby Hydronics promised not to divulge to any person engaged in the business of furnishing industrial waste disposal services any technical know-how which had been supplied to it by Rollins-Purle, Inc. or Purle Brothers Holdings, Ltd. Plaintiffs below also sought compensatory and punitive damages for any breach of the agreements by Hydronics.
