So what?
If I work for Tech Company A (that develops products in one market area), and leave to go to Tech Company B (that develops products in a completely separate market. ie. They don't compete in any way for market share), everything I do for Company B in the 12 months after leaving Company A, actually belongs to Company A?
- belenos46 11y agoDepends how hard Tech Company A can push, basically.
- danielweber 11y agoYes, if company A wants to pursue it. Is company B really going to want to invite that trouble? Any product company insists on clean IP rights. 'pg tells a story of how this nearly brought down an early acquisition he was involved in (perhaps Viaweb) because they didn't have a proper IP assignment from one employee.
