Bedier was at PayPal, according to the application as Vice President of Product Development instrumental in building a mobile payment platform. At Google, he is responsible for the introduction of point-of-sale retail technologies. “Google and Bedier have misused trade secrets by having them divided among other major retail chains,” goes on to say in the lawsuit.

PayPal also points out that Bedier 2008-2011 in negotiations with Google was involved, which had the objective to establish PayPal as a payment option in the Android Market. “Just at the point, as were the two companies before the completion of an Android-PayPal-business, Bedier has applied for a job at Google, PayPal without informed about the conflict of interest”, the eBay subsidiary.

In addition to Stephanie Tilenius, have hurt Vice President of Electronic Commerce on Google and PayPal also a former manager of its contractual obligations. They’ve recruited Bedier said the accusation. At PayPal she had worked several years with Bedier.

The application lists a further 50 unnamed individuals as defendants. PayPal asks for damages and an undisclosed amount of compensation and royalties.

“We take PayPal’s ‘secrets’ very seriously,” spokeswoman Amanda Pires said PayPal. “So we have taken this decision today. We have sued Google and former colleague of Osama Bedier and Stephanie Tilenius who work there now.”

The services presented yesterday by Google “Wallet” and “Offers” combine payment by mobile phone, coupons and discounts. Tilenius that the services had been presented together with Bedier said, among other things, Google’s goal is to offer customers the “best shopping experience”.
