Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. was accused in a lawsuit by Lemko Corp. of misappropriating trade secrets on technology for locating emergency callers on cellular networks.
An engineer employed at Lemko who created computer codes that calculate the location of mobile phones left in 2006 to work for Motorola Mobility, which lacked the position-determining technology, according to the complaint. The engineer was hired because she had “access to and knowledge of Lemko’s trade secrets,” including source code for that technology, the company alleged.
