Actually the judge found fault with Lee's actions
That's interesting, Reuters reports it differently:

'At the same time, King County Superior Court Judge Steven Gonzalez found that Kai-Fu Lee, a former Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) vice president, had misled his former employer and taken advantage of confidential Microsoft information when first working at Google.'

' "Dr. Lee misled Microsoft about his intention to return to Microsoft following his sabbatical, and he continued to have access to Microsoft's proprietary information after he decided to leave Microsoft to join one of its competitors without informing Microsoft," the judge wrote, referring to the period before and immediately after Lee joined Google in June.'

In addition, Lee is prohibited from doing any research work:

'The Washington state judge enjoined Lee and his new employer from working on any product or service that relies on confidential information tied to search, natural language processing and speech recognition that he obtained while working for Microsoft.'
