He also asserts that his work at Apple would not involve the use of any IBM confidential information he may have learned, and that he has signed an agreement with Apple that forbids him to disclose or bring onto Apple property any such information.
Papermaster claims that if he was forced to leave the electronics industry for a year as required by IBM's apparent interpretation of the non-compete agreement, he would "suffer severe hardship".
"I do not believe I will be able to find a comparable poistion in a year (if ever), especially given the downward trajectory of the economy," he submitted.

According to an Apple spokesperson quoted by Reuters, Papermaster will cease work: "We will comply with the court's order but are confident that Mark Papermaster will be able to ultimately join Apple when the dust settles."
