Google countersues Microsoft in battle over executive

Google fought back against Microsoft this week, filing a legal motion arguing that attempts by Microsoft to prevent Kai-Fu Lee from joining Google were illegal.

Google sought to nullify a non-compete agreement signed by Lee when he worked for Microsoft. Google filed a motion in California Superior Court in Santa Clara County, Reuters said.

Lee is slated to join Google to spearhead new research and development efforts in China. Until Monday, Lee was corporate vice president of Microsoft's Natural Interactive Services Division, IDG News Service reported.
