June 26, 2008
Washington (dbTechno) - Google has been sued by a Chicago start-up company named LimitNone. The two-count lawsuit is over a tool called Google E-Mail Uploader.
The two-count lawsuit states that Google misappropriated trade secrets, and also violated consumer fraud laws in the state of Illinois.
The Google E-Mail Uploader competes with a similar program from LimitNone called gMove application.
LimitNone stated that Google invited the company to work with them, and then turned around and pretty much stole the technology.
