IBM Obtains TRO From Federal Court Ordering Former Employee to Stop Working for Apple

By Todd
YOU'LL READ IT HERE FIRST - IBM has received an extraordinary TRO from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ordering former executive employee Mark Papermaster to immediately cease his employment with Apple until further order of the court.

The court's order was entered today. Papermaster presumably has to resign his employment effective immediately. Should he fail to do so, Apple will presumably have to terminate him pending further order of the court.

This is hot off the press from the court file.

More soon - we don't think this will be the end of the fight about this matter.
