Roy, who worked on next-generation system-on-chip technology for Pixel devices, reportedly began posting confidential information shortly after resigning in February 2024 and moving to the United States for doctoral studies 2. Despite Google's requests to remove the content, Roy continued to share the trade secrets.
Google is seeking unspecified monetary damages and court orders to prevent further dissemination of the confidential information.
Roy is accused of sharing detailed specifications of proprietary hardware and software on his social media accounts. He worked at Google from 2020 to early 2024 and resigned in February 2024 to pursue doctoral studies in the United States.
After resigning, Roy began posting confidential information on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn. Google engaged an external investigator and filed the lawsuit in a Texas federal court, seeking unspecified monetary damages and court orders to prevent further dissemination of the confidential information.
Despite Google's requests to remove the content, Roy continued to share the trade secrets. Google's spokesperson emphasized that such behavior is unacceptable and that the company is committed to safeguarding its proprietary information.
