Six former and current Fitbit staffers have been accused of stealing trade secrets from rival gizmo-slinger Jawbone.

According to an indictment [PDF] filed Thursday in a Northern California US District Court, each of the six had at one time worked at Jawbone and were hired away by Fitbit. In the process, it is alleged, they took with them confidential R&D materials from Jawbone.
