This article reports that CCBN.com Inc., a Web-based communications firm that handles investor relations, has accused the information services company Thomson Corp. of corporate espionage. In late July 2002, CCBN.com filed suit against Thomson Corp. Seeking treble damages, the suit accuses Thomson of using its two CCBN board seats to steal confidential information--including pricing data and competitive analysis--that helped it create a rival service, and of hiring people who had confidentiality agreements with CCBN. However, Thomson is denying all of CCBN's allegations.
