Canadian courts yesterday extended an injunction that has prevented former Ubisoft Montreal president Martin Tremblay from assuming his new post at Vivendi Games in Los Angeles. Tremblay was hired by Vivendi in mid-April; however, his tenure at the game publisher has been successfully contested by his former employer. In early May, Quebec Superior Court judge Robert Mongeon affirmed Ubisoft's request that Tremblay be prevented from starting his new assignment at Vivendi, claiming Tremblay had violated a non-compete clause that covers all Ubisoft employees. Justice Helene Langlois yesterday issued a "safeguard order" that extends that injunction until June 7, 2006. In an ongoing war of words, Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot said of yesterday's ruling: "As demonstrated in the past and again today, Ubisoft will actively defend its intellectual property for the good of the organization and its 1,400 Montreal creators." Tremblay, who resigned from Ubisoft on March 27, 2006, accepted the post of president of worldwide studios at Vivendi Games on April 19. One month later, he has yet to begin his tenure at Vivendi.
