Opera claims ex-employee took trade secrets to Mozilla, sues him for $3.4m

Norwegian browser maker Opera Software has filed a lawsuit against a former employee and consultant, alleging that the man gave away trade secrets to rival Mozilla. Opera is claiming a whopping 20 million Norwegian Krone, or roughly $3.4 million, in damages.

Operas lawyers did respond to The Next Web saying "This dispute is pending before the courts, and due to the pending court hearing that will take place late august, Opera chooses not to comment on the case in detail." They then continued to hint that it is all true.
