The suit charges Rockwell with unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract and breach of confidence. Townshend is asking for both compensatory and punitive damages, as well as the restitution of money that Rockwell may have earned through what he terms "unjust enrichment." techweb.com o~~~ O
