Motorola has filed a lawsuit against Research In Motion, claiming that the Canadian BlackBerry maker is stealing its employees.

Providing emails to its employees from a RIM recruitment company as evidence, Motorola wants a court-ordered injunction stopping RIM from hiring any of its employees - and upwards of $50,000 in damages.

In the lawsuit, Motorola states that RIM has targeted at least 40 of its workers in the last 8 months.

"Motorola is threatened with losing customers, employees, technology, its competitive advantage, its trade secrets and goodwill in amounts which may be impossible to determine", the filing states.
