| Mobile Minute: The Mobile Minute is sponsored by SpiderCloud Wireless. More than 64,000 engineers are suing some of the biggest employers in mobile for conspiring to keep them in their jobs, and now those companies have offered a settlement. The class action lawsuit was brought against Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe. It claims that executives at those companies agreed not to recruit one another’s employees in secret deals that took place between 2005 and 2009. The settlement offered is $324 million, according to The New York Times, which says the plaintiffs had originally asked for $3 billion. If the plaintiffs do not accept the settlement, the case could go to trial. The presiding judge is Lucy Koh, who is also the judge in the ongoing Apple/Samsung patent trials. |
