An architect is suing Google for allegedly stealing his idea for a building technology that makes the design and construction of tall buildings cheaper and more efficient.
Israeli-born architect Eli Attia, along with technology company Max Sound Corp., has brought a lawsuit against the Silicon Valley titan over Flux, a Google X-developed startup launched earlier this year that makes software for designing environmentally friendly buildings cheaply and quickly.
The lawsuit alleges that "Despite Google's own motto of 'Don't be evil,' the Defendants remorselessly discarded Mr. Attia, misappropriated his proprietary information and know-how, and proceeded to develop and exploit Mr. Attia's idea's and know-how for their own benefit, picking for themselves the fruit of Mr. Attia's life work at his expense."
