Former Sales Rep's Counter-Claims Stand In Poaching Spat With Stryker Corporation

Counter-claims brought by Richard Steitzer, a former sales rep for Stryker (NYSE:SYK), can stand in a poaching spat between Stryker, Steitzer and Biomet, a Michigan federal judge ruled last week.

Stryker sued orthopedics rival Biomet last year, accusing it of a scheme to poach reps and business from Stryker in Louisiana and New York. Steitzer and Christopher Ridgeway allegedly conspired with Biomet in the scheme, according to the September 2013 lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for Western Michigan.
