Oct 28 (Reuters) - A former Uber Technologies executive who co-founded a British startup backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos has been sued for allegedly stealing trade secrets from a California shipping and logistics company where he was once a board member. Vanguard Logistics Services (USA) Inc accused Fraser Robinson of conspiring with another former Uber executive to steal algorithms, data and other intellectual property in 2018 to create their “copycat” London-based company, Beacon Technologies Ltd. The complaint against Robinson and Beacon was filed on Tuesday with the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. It seeks what Vanguard, which is based in nearby Long Beach, called “significant” compensatory and punitive damages for the alleged fraudulent conduct and the return of what was stolen. A spokesman for Beacon and Robinson had no immediate comment on Wednesday. Vanguard did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment. Advertisement
