That was quick: A California judge has granted Yahoo’s request for a temporary restraining order, barring MForma employees from using or disclosing any proprietary Yahoo information in their work. Not that it means much…
Meanwhile, Mforma CEO Jonathan Sacks said the seven former Yahoo employees would continue at their jobs as the lawsuit progressed. “If they are having problems retaining engineers, they should be looking at the internal sources of employee dissatisfaction rather than trying to cover that up with this legal action.”
Well, it is also slightly disingenious on Sacks part…his rant about Yahoo crushing the small company? $100 million company is not exactly small.
The PR release from Mforma stating its case is here.
