Intel Sues Former Employee Who Joined Microsoft After Stealing The Company’s Trade Secrets  
February 10, 2021
Intel, the popular chipmaker, is suing one of its former employees, Varun Gupta, for allegedly stealing confidential documents and using them to give his new employer Microsoft a competitive advantage in subsequent business negotiations with Intel. 
Gupta, who spent nearly a decade at Intel as its Product Marketing Engineer, left the company on January 17, 2020, and joined Microsoft four days later as a Principal of Strategic Planning in Microsoft’s Cloud and Artificial Intelligence department.
According to the lawsuit filed by Intel, Gupta took the company’s highly confidential, proprietary and trade secret information in violation of his contractual obligations and federal and state law; leveraged that information in negotiations against Intel while at his new employer; and lied to Intel in the course of the firm’s attempts to locate, recover, and protect its confidential information and trade secrets.
