“The poaching, which is alleged to have taken place between the middle of last year and the beginning of this year, centered on five employees in total. According to A123, Apple was grabbing ex-A123 employees that were allegedly responsible for some of the company’s more important developments related to lithium-ion batteries and chemical engineering. And when these employees left A123, those projects came to a screeching halt. Apple was in the process of asking for the case to be transferred to federal court in California—closer to Apple’s headquarters, but quite a bit away from A123’s Massachusetts headquarters.”
