Google has countersued Microsoft in a battle over a prized research engineer that shows the growing tensions between the tech titans. The tussle began after Google raided Microsoft's management ranks by hiring Kai Fu-Lee to open an R&D office in China. Microsoft sued Google and Lee, alleging a noncompete agreement prevented him from defecting. Google retaliated Thursday with its own complaint, in which it contends the noncompete provision violates California laws giving workers the right to change jobs.
