Point Blank Body Armor v. BAE Systems (Tortious Interference)
Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. sued BAE Systems Specialty Defense Systems of Pennsylvania, Inc. (formerly a division of Armor Holdings, which was acquired by BAE Systems in 2007), alleging Specialty Defense used confidential information about Point Blank to get an unfair advantage when the two companies competed for a U.S. Army contract to make bullet-resistant tactical vests. Point Blank alleged that retired Col. John D. Norwood, who began working for Armor Holdings in September 2006, had obtained confidential information pertaining to Point Blank’s business operations while he was working in the Army’s Program Manager’s Office. In March 2009, both parties reached a confidential settlement agreement.
