Microsoft Begins Legal War Against Google

Online staff -- Electronic News, 7/20/2005

Just as Microsoft settled a number of high profile lawsuits, 
the technology giant is at it again; this time filing Tuesday 
against former executive Dr. Kai-Fu Lee and his new employer 
Google for alleged breach of an employee confidentiality and 
non-compete agreement.

Lee, previously corporate VP of Microsoft’s Natural Interactive 
Services Division, accepted a position with Google to lead their 
China R&D center, which Google announced just prior to Microsoft 
filing suit.

In a statement on its website, Microsoft said it is, “asking the 
Court to require Dr. Lee and Google to honor the confidentiality 
and non-competition agreements he signed when he began working 
for Microsoft.”
