Microsoft wins first round of Google employee lawsuit

Microsoft has won the first round in its legal action against Google, with a restraining order that prevents a former Microsoft employee from engaging in competing work at the search company.

The ruling came from King County Superior Court in Seattle on Thursday and represents an initial, if small, win for Microsoft. The software company is suing to prevent Dr Kai-Fu Lee from taking work with Google that would compete with Microsoft’s search engine strategy in China.

Looks like Microsoft won this round. Google countersued MS and the trial for that will begin in January. Check out the entire post at Tech World.
