My understanding is the company started out by re-branding equipment but then stole some proprietary data so that they could create their own competing product.

My understanding is the company started out by re-branding equipment but then stole some proprietary data so that they could create their own competing product. "The case began as a dispute between two technology companies, Equustek Solutions and Datalink Technologies Gateways. The latter was accused of repackaging one of the former’s products as its own, and then of nicking confidential files from Equustek and using the information contained within to produce and sell a competing product."
