Google strikes back
Not content at letting Microsoft do all the suing, search giant Google has struck back with its own law suit targeted at the desktop giant Microsoft over Google’s recent employment of a former Microsoft exec, in a wrestling match that could quite easily be syndicated and sold to adoring Cable TV audiences.
But don’t get too excited, because there is a “legalize warning ahead”
(Internet News.com) Google is asking for “judicial relieve from an overreaching and unlawful non-compete provision drafted by defendant Microsoft Corporation.”…Google’s lawyers argued that Microsoft’s non-compete clause is invalid under California laws that say, “every contract by which anyone is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind is to that extent void.”
What I think this translates into is that Microsoft cant stop Google poaching its employess under California law. You can see the lawyers rubbing their hands with glee, can’t you.
