A private equity firm and a data technology company are asking a Delaware court to unseal documents involved in the auction of TransPerfect Global Inc.

The move was made by H.I.G. Middle Market LLC and Lionbridge Technologies Inc. during the discovery process in TransPerfect's case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging the other two companies made a sham bid for TransPerfect in an attempt to obtain trade secrets, but TransPerfect's counsel and CEO said they will support their opponents' push for the Delaware records to no longer be confidential.
