Microsoft is planning to ask Washington State’s King County Superior Court Judge Steven Gonzalez to extend his order barring Lee from working for Google – until the trial starts in January.

Lee was hired to oversee a research and development center that Google plans to open in China. Lee started at Google the day after he resigned from Microsoft. In July, Gonzalez issued a temporary restraining order barring Lee from starting his work for Google.

Google has hired a small but high-powered law firm, Kekar & Van Nest of San Francisco to fight the case.
