No clean room implementation includes the person who wrote (or saw or used) the original code at another company. Also, email is company IP, or at least confidential info and/or trade secrets.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoNo. (To both.) See my cousin post.
- nihonde 10y agoI'm a lawyer, and I continue to disagree.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoExplain?
- nihonde 10y agoI explained above. Work email is likely to include at least confidential information, possibly trade secrets. If I attach a super secret drug formula to an email, do you think it stops being company IP? As for clean room, there are attempts to reverse engineer that will fail, and then there are attempts that exclude everyone who was exposed to the original IP, which might have a chance of surviving at trial.
- horsetacular 10y agoYou may be a lawyer, sir, but I am two lawyers, stacked together in a trenchcoat in deference to one of the classic japes, and I can tell you that the things you are saying sound vaguely wrong to bottom lawyer.
