Leading all-in-one scheduling software for pet groomers, Moement, Inc. is currently suing competitor Groomore, Inc. for misappropriation of Moement’s trade secret, infringement of Moement’s copyright, breach of confidentiality obligations, and unfair business competition in the Central District Court of California (Case No. 2:22-cv-02871-MRW).
Moement alleges that the Groomore team leveraged a copy of the Moement backend source code to build a comparable, competing scheduling software system in just four months. Contrastingly, Moement took four years to develop its leading, all-in-one scheduling software – MoeGo for pet groomers.
Moement contests that the Groomore platform and mobile app exhibit a high similarity to the MoeGo platform and mobile app, including visuals, features, functions, and screen transitions. Through this lawsuit, Moement seeks to recover all legal, equitable, and financial remedies available under U.S. federal and state laws, including compensatory and punitive damages, as well as injunctions against the Defendants.
