IRobot, maker of the Roomba vacuum cleaner, won a court order to block Robotic FX from fulfilling a $280 million contract to supply the military with bomb-detecting robots in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The order temporarily bars Robotic from using technology that iRobot claims was stolen by a former employee. The ruling may result in the Pentagon contract for 3,000 robots being awarded to iRobot, which came in second in the bidding.
