You can obviously start a new company in the same field, just make sure you don't violate non-complete clause (if it exists). However, stealing code or product design is a strict NO whether you are in Silicon Valley or a University.
- ChuckMcM 11y agoI was wondering about that. Generally you don't need to steal a design kit[1], the manufacturer gives them away at seminars and training in order to help you understand how their parts are used. If I were going to start building a chip to compete with these guys I'd definitely want an evaluation board to test to see if my chip was a work alike to the competitor's chip.
