and Apple hired General Counsel from Oracle to be Apple's new GC. - MarketWatch 09:53 a.m. 09/28/2007 By Rex Crum SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Apple Inc. on Friday appointed Daniel Cooperman as its new general counsel, less than a year after the company replaced its former top lawyer who's embroiled in a federal investigation into her role in the backdating of stock options and awards at the computer and consumer-electronics company. Cooperman will become Apple's general counsel, vice president and secretary starting Nov. 1. Cooperman comes to Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple (AAPL) from Oracle Corp. (ORCL), where he also served as general counsel. Cooperman takes over from Donald Rosenberg, who's leaving the company after just 10 months on the job. Rosenberg's headed to Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM), the wireless components supplier that's embroiled in its own lawsuits with rival Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) over technology patents. He will serve as Qualcomm's general counsel. The game of legal musical chairs at Apple began less than a year ago, when then-general counsel Nancy Heinen left the company. As part of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Heinen's facing charges that she was involved in backdating stock options given to Apple executives in February 2001, and in creating false paperwork to alter the date of a 7.5-million share grant given to Chief Executive Steve Jobs in December 2001. Heinen has denied all the charges, and Jobs has reportedly been subpoenaed to give a deposition in the case. -
