Steven J. Trzaska was the head of L'Oreal USA's regional patent team, managing the procedure by which the company patended products. As an attorney barred in Pensylvania, Trzaska had to adhere to prfessional rules of conduct established by the Supreme Court of Pennslyvia in addition to rules promulagted by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In 2014, L'Oreal S.A., the French patent company if L'Oreal USA, enacted a global quata of patent applications each regonal office had to file each year. Employees were informed that failure to meet the quota would negatively impact their careers and even their continued employment at L'Oreal. Meanwhile, L'Oreal USA simultaneously enacted a rule to increase the quality of patent applications filed with the USPTO. The second rule led to a decrease in number of patents that could be filed with the USPTO. Traska's team would not be able to fulfill the patent quota.

Faced with the problem, Traska informed management that his team would not file patents that they did not believe in good faith were patentable. Several weeks after Trazska's meeting with the management, he was offered 2 severance packages that he did not accept. Finally, Trzaska was let go. Traska subsequently sued L'Oreal, alleging that he was fired for refusal to violate ethical rules that regulate the legal profession.
