In that lawsuit, which was filed in New York Supreme Court, Westchester County (Index No. 61386/2015), Cohere seeks, among other things, an injunction against Luhrs and Axispoint for their wrongful solicitation of Cohere clients and employees, as well as their improper use of Cohere's confidential information.
On July 6, 2015, the Judge assigned issued a Temporary Restraining Order against Luhrs and Axispoint.
