Apple's iPod Guru Steps Down, Replaced By Ex-IBMer

Papermaster, a 25 "year IBM veteran, is an expert in chip design and has been credited as one of the key developers behind the Power PC processor. Most recently he served as vice president for the company's blade server development. Papermaster also has been a member of the company's Integration & Values Team since 2006.
On Oct. 22, IBM filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, trying to block Papermaster from joining Apple, saying that "significant and highly confidential IBM trade secrets" could "irreparably harm" the company if he is allowed to work for Apple.
Papermaster resigned Oct. 21, saying he was taking on an unspecified job at Apple. In its suit, IBM said Papermaster would be in breach of a noncompete agreement he signed in 2006 that prevents him for working for competitors for one year if he were to sever ties with IBM.
"In his capacity as a member of the [Integration & Values Team], Mr. Papermaster has gained access to confidential information concerning the company's strategic plans, marketing plans and long-term business opportunities, including the development of specific IBM products," the company said in a statement. "We will vigorously pursue this case in court."
