Canadian airplane maker Bombardier Inc. has sued the aircraft unit of Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., saying former Bombardier employees passed on trade secrets to help Mitsubishi’s oft-delayed regional jet project.
Bombardier filed the lawsuit late Oct. 19 in a federal court in Seattle against Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, Seattle-based Aerospace Testing Engineering & Certification Inc. (AeroTEC), and several former Bombardier employees.
