In a lawsuit filed with the New York federal court on Monday, IBM said that McIntyre has highly confidential and sensitive information about IBM's diversification strategy, hiring goals, technology and innovation.
In the meantime, Bloomberg reported that Judge Vincent Briccetti temporarily forbade MacIntyreMicrosoftWork until the court makes other decisions.
IBM complained that using and disclosing its confidential and sensitive information (whether intentional or unintentional) by MacIntire would put the company at a competitive disadvantage.
IBM said it intends to implement a non-compete agreement with McIntyre to protect its competitive information.
