Head Matter:
Margon Corporation, Respondent, v. Dollac Corporation et al., Appellants.
In an action, by an employer against a former employee and the corporation he helped to organize, to enjoin the exploitation of trade secrets and for other relief, the answer consists of general denials and an affirmative defense alleging, among other things, that (1) the action was brought in bad faith and for the purpose of furthering respondent’s efforts to achieve a monopoly, and (2) appellants themselves had developed the machinery and methods complained of. The appeal is from an order granting a motion, pursuant to subdivision 6 of rule 109 of the Rules of Civil Practice, to strike out the affirmative defense as insufficient in law, with leave to serve an amended answer, if so advised, pleading as an affirmative defense only that appellants developed the machinery and methods herein complained of. Order affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.

Opinion:
No opinion. Wenzel, Acting P. J., Murphy, Ughetta, Hallinan and Kleinfeld, JJ., concur.
