The Minnesota business community has seen two recent lawsuits related to the alleged theft of trade secrets — one at the Mayo Clinic and another at Boston Scientific.

Aaron Hall, CEO and managing partner of Thompson Hall in Minneapolis, joined MPR News' Steven John to discuss the recent litigation.
