Ruling Handed Down on Kai Fu Lee Case

Posted by Susan Esparza on 09/13/2005 @ 11:01 am | Comments Off

Bloomberg reports that the judge ruled today that Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, the subject of a bitter court battle between Google and Microsoft, can recruit for Google in China without violating his non-compete agreement though he cannot perform other tasks at the new facility, including setting budgets or working on research and development projects.

Update: Both Google Blog and Microsoft have weighed in to claim this ruling as a victory. The tale of the two headlines (guess which is from whom):

Judge clears way for Dr. Lee

The Court found that Dr. Lee “misled Microsoft” and misused confidential information.

Sharing is caring!
