HP gags bloke in spying row
Don’t mention Dell
January
2007, A BLOKE who claimed that HP gave him lots of cash to arrange a
spying operating against Dell has had a restraining order placed on
him.Karl Kamb is being sued by HP for running a rival television
company while working for the maker of printer ink. Kamb counter-sued
claiming that he had been fired illegally by HP. However, in Kamb’s
claim it was revealed that he was behind am HP scheme to get commercial
secrets from its rival Dell.According to Cnet, when details of Kamb’s
counter suit were made public, HP applied for a restraining order
against the former executive.Michael Schneider, the US District Court
judge presiding over the case, said that Kamb is free to again file his
counter-suit but must not talk about it.The judge was particularly
miffed that copies of e-mails between Kamb, other HP employees and the
former Dell Japan president who Kamb claims was hired in 2002 to inform
HP about Dell’s printer plans were included in the counter-suit.Even
though it was eight years before Dell actually released its own
printer, the outfit was understandably furious.HP denied all this and
says it is all a cunning plan by Kamb to divert attention from its law
suit against him.
