CaramelCrisp, owner of Garrett Popcorn Shops, filed the federal lawsuit Monday against Aisha Putnam, one of three people the company says knows the recipes for its popcorn. The company says Putnam served as the director of research and development for about four years and copied 5,400 files to a USB drive before being fired.
