Microsoft says it found a potentially important document in its case against its former executive Kai-Fu Lee and Google in the "recycle bin" of one of Lee’s computers.
According to papers filed with a Washington state court by the software giant, a document that describes terms of an apparent agreement between Google and Lee was "recovered from the "Recycle Bin" of one of Dr. Lee"s computers."
The document indicates Google foresaw possible litigation in hiring Lee to head its China operations. It could bolster the software titan"s claim that Lee"s new position violates a contract signed with Microsoft, and that Google has encouraged Lee to break that contract.
