Apple Inc. has asked a U.S. District Court in Massachusetts to dismiss for lack of evidence a civil lawsuit claiming the company illegally poached engineers from battery maker A123 Systems LLC, Bloomberg News reports.
A123's complaint says Apple wants to set up a competing battery-making business. Apple has been investigating the option of making its own electric car with the help of experts hired from carmakers and other companies.
Last year Apple hired five engineers who had been heading key advanced battery research programs at A123. The battery maker says doing so violated the terms of its employees' contracts. Apple's motion to dismiss says A123 failed to present sufficient evidence of misconduct.
