Keyssa, a startup specializing in wireless data transmission that is backed by Nest co-
founder Tony Fadell, has filed a lawsuit against Android phone maker Essential, according to a report from Reuters. Keyssa has been around since 2009, and the company says it was in talks with Essential for 10 months or so to help provide the technology behind connecting Essential’s new Android handset with its planned family of accessories and smart home devices. The talks ended without an agreement, and Keyssa is now accusing Essential of trade secret theft. Essential began shipping its new Essential Phone in August alongside a camera accessory that connects to the phone wirelessly. https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/16/16485014/keyssa-sues-essential-phone-tony-fadell-andy-rubin-lawsuit
