Microsoft Gets Win Over Google
An AP newswire article, via CBS SciTech News, reports that:
A former Microsoft Corp. executive who defected to Google Inc. cannot immediately perform the job Google hired him to do, a judge ruled Thursday, saying Microsoft has a well-grounded fear that leaked trade secrets could hurt its business.
King County Superior Court Judge Steven Gonzalez granted a temporary restraining order barring Kai-Fu Lee from working at Google on any product, service or project similar to those he worked on at Microsoft, including Internet and desktop searching technology.
A Google lawyer asked for a more specific list of tasks Lee can and cannot perform. Microsoft said it would provide the court with a recommended list by Monday.
