Over the weekend it became clear that the drama is continuing to surround Apple's latest senior employee. Mark Papermaster a previous employee of IBM was hired by Apple and officially joined last week, replacing iPod chief Tony Fadell.
Later last week it was revealed that IBM had filed a lawsuit against Papermaster for accepting a job at Apple. IBM claims that Papermaster is violating an employment agreement, as he could potentially divulge IBM trade secrets.
A new report which became apparent over the weekend reveals that a District Court judge has ordered Papermaster to stop working at Apple immediately. Papermaster has also filed papers arguing that Apple and IBM are no longer competitors in the industry.
Apple said they would comply with the courts ruling but "are confident that Mark Papermaster will be able to ultimately join Apple when the dust settles".
