Amid uncertainty Apple has removed an executive biography from its website for Mark Papermaster the latest executive to join Apple’s team. The Senior Vice President of Devices Hardware Engineering was hired from IBM and has been the centre of a lawsuit from the company.

Following his employment at Apple, IBM sued Papermaster under allegations that he could give out critical trade secrets belonging to IBM. In response Papermaster filed papers that read, “Until this litigation effort by IBM, aside from the divested IBM personal computer business and a single sale several years ago of Apple’s Xserve product to a university, I do not recall a single instance of Apple being described as a competitor of IBM during my entire tenure at IBM.”

Last Friday IBM was granted an injunction to prevent Papermaster from working at Apple for the near future, CNet points out that a Google Cache of the bio is still available.
