HP Sues Ex-CEO Hurd Over Oracle’s Job Offer
by Richard Gonzales
NPR reports:
Mark Hurd recently was fired from his job as CEO of Hewlett-Packard after a scandal involving an extra-martial relationship. One of HP’s main tech rivals — Oracle — wants to make Hurd its co-president. That’s prompted HP to sue, claiming Hurd can’t possibly perform the new job without tapping into HP’s trade secrets.
Our Chicago non-compete agreement lawyers have defended high level executives in cases with similar claims to the Hurd case. A case in which our firm defended a former Motorola executive was covered in Crain’s Chicago business. You can view that article by clicking here.
