If the trade secret (as opposed to a patentable idea for a business process) was disclosed in confidence (through the contracting arrangement) and he took it and used it for his own gain, then ConnectU may have a case. Once the idea is "out there" then the confidence issue becomes moot for anyone else who wants to start a clone.
