Evolution trade secrets are claims against Light & Wonder head for arbitration
The request of Light & Wonder to force the development to take its commercial complaints for arbitration for arbitration was approved by a district court in Nevada.
The court ruled on September 30 that the claims made by Evolution according to which Light & Wonder has diverted confidential mathematical files and commercial secrets for the creation of competing products must go to arbitration. Patent infringement requests will continue separately in court.
The two companies will now resolve complaints concerning the amicable commercial secrets, after the court rejected the first complaint in February. The evolution then reflected new complaints in a separate document.
“It is ordered by the present that the request of the defendants to force arbitration (ECF n ° 74) to be granted. The parties must quickly submit these complaints to arbitration in accordance with the license contract. ” – Evolution vs Light & Wonder
Judge Cristina Silva granted Light & Wonder’s request after concluding that the dispute was part of an arbitration clause in a license agreement in 2021 between the two game companies. The pair then agreed that Light & Wonder has exclusive rights to create a physical version of the Evolution Lightning roulette game to be used in land casinos.
In 2024, Evolution first deposited allegations of embezzled trade secrets under Federal Act and Nevada, as well as the violation of five evolutionary patents. He argued that Light & Wonder used confidential files and information to create Roulettex, Powerx and 88 Fortunes Blaze Live Roulette.
The license contract said that any non -resolved claim by negotiation should “be finally established under the arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce by three arbitrators”, leading to the decision of the judge here. The place of arbitration was established as London, after the court rejected the arguments of evolution according to which the dispute is linked to intellectual property and should therefore not go to arbitration.
The five patent counterfeit requests remain with the district court, with a state conference scheduled for October 30. Evolution maintains that confidential information has been shared with Light & Wonder under NDA which was then used in multiplier and payment systems.
