Full FeedPapermaster ordered by Judge to halt work at Apple
Apple’s new employee from IBM, Mark Papermaster, has been ordered by a Judge to halt work at Apple until the lawsuit IBM has filed against him gets figured out. Papermaster is taking over for Tony Fadell as a top position in the iPod/iPhone division. IBM feels that Papermaster is breaking part of his contract with them by joining forces with Apple because he could possibly release some of IBM’s chip technology secrets to Apple. Papermaster’s lawyers are arguing that causing Mark to obey this clause in his IBM contract with be “incredibly damaging” to his career.
On the other hand, IBM is arguing that the nature of his work is too dangerous in general to allow him to switch side and work with Apple. If you ask me, I think Papermaster and his lawyers have the most compelling argument in this case. If IBM won’t let him work here, where will they let him work? Give it some time and I think we will see Mark Papermaster back at Apple designing the newest in their iPod line in no time.
