Re: duplicating a business plan

The answer really depends on the nature of the plan. If it was a business model without a product, proving that they either converted it or used trade secrets would prove difficult. If the plan was to make or market a particular product or service, and they are following it and making money, you may have a cause of action to recover damages. In my opinion, answering your question with the facts given would be less than prudent. You may e-mail or telephone me directly to discuss in detail.
