In practice what happens is as an IC engineer, one of the meetings in your interminable string of Zoom meetings has the firm's legal department and outside counsel on it. They're asking about something from years ago that may or may not be real, or called what they think it's called, or have overlapped your tenure at all. You have neither the incentive nor the opportunity to launch some kind of conspiracy to protect the company. You tell them what you remember about it, if anything. Maybe give them the names of other people who might know something or links to documents they might not have seen. Then you probably never hear anything about it again.
