Attia Boy: Interesting Allegation about Google Innovation
October 9, 2017
I read “Google Rccused of Racketeering in Lawsuit Claiming Pattern of Trade Secrets Theft.”
The main idea, in my opinion, is that Google is accused by Attia of sucking in good ideas, systems, and methods. Then Google uses these to benefit Google.
Eli Attia is a person who is an architect who allegedly developed “engineered architecture.” Globes, an Israel based news service, reported several years ago:
Google estimates Engineered Architecture has $120 billion potential annual revenue. Attia and Max Sound are suing for compensation.
The article I read in today’s San Jose Morning News is pegged to an expansion of the original complaint. Google not only allegedly uses others’ intellectual property, the practice is identified as “racketeering.”
The San Jose Morning News story is a recounting of Attia’s allegations by an attorney representing Attia. I highighted the allegations and selected three which I found interesting:
Statement 1 by Attia source:
Google would solicit a party to share with it highly confidential trade secrets under a non-disclosure agreement, conduct negotiations with the party, then terminate negotiations with the party professing a lack of interest in the party’s technology, followed by the unlawful use of the party’s trade secrets in its business.
Statement 2 by Attia source:
It’s cheaper to steal than to develop your own technology.
Statement 3 by Attia source:
Google would solicit a party to share with it highly confidential trade secrets under a non-disclosure agreement, conduct negotiations with the party, then terminate negotiations with the party professing a lack of interest in the party’s technology, followed by the unlawful use of the party’s trade secrets in its business.
Why are people hassling the Google?
Perhaps the court proceedings will provide something like facts, not allegations?
