Opening a new chapter in its rivalry with Google, Microsoft on Tuesday sued the search giant and a former Microsoft executive that Google had tapped to run its China operations.
A Washington state court judge said he would issue a ruling Tuesday in the US on whether former Microsoft executive Kai-Fu Lee will be allowed to immediately begin setting up a China development center for Google.
The next round in the legal battle between Google and Microsoft over former Microsoft executive Kai-Fu Lee could take place October 14 - unless the companies settle their dispute first.
Google has asked a federal judge in California to rule that Kai-Fu Lee's contract with Microsoft is unenforceable and that the researcher should be allowed to join Google unfettered by the terms of his employment deal.
In its fight with Microsoft over an executive's defection, Google has enlisted attorneys from a small but high-powered law firm.
