"A long and bitter case"
"This unusually long and bitter legal case began in June 2000 when Rohm & Haas sued Lin for disclosing four trade secrets on her research on a paint additive that is the company's biggest product. By then, Lin, who is Chinese, had resigned from Rohm & Haas after filing a discrimination claim and receiving a $100,000 payment. One of her supervisors acknowledged referring to her as a "monkey" and regretted it.
Three years into the trade secrets case, Rohm & Haas widened the scope of the legal dispute by saying that new research Lin developed for EverNu could contain information she stole from her former employer."
