- tptacek 10y agoI'd love for this to be true, but my sense is that it isn't. Regarding non-competes: they have enough teeth in IL for a claim against you to be difficult to dismiss, which is pretty much all the teeth they need. Lawsuits are riotously expensive. Regarding side-project IP: even in California: I'd read everything 'DannyBee has to say in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11484852 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11484852 (DannyBee is, among other things, an IP lawyer).
