Kenneth, another good post: Zbysla ------------------ Re: Alcatel's Legal Goon Squad by: a7670rsp 9/15/00 9:10 am Msg: 7629 of 7640 Sounds like sour grapes to me. Alcatel is in the business of making money. Lawyers (and lawsuits) cost a lot of dough. Your assumption that Alcatel goes against any employee leaving the development of an 'important product for the company' to work for a competing product does not hold. From what I have read from Alcatel's lawsuits, they were all against blatant attempts to steal intellectual property. In those lawsuits, not only did the employees work on a competing product, but they work on the exact same area of that product. Example: Let's take Jo, an engineer that has just left Alcatel to work for a competitor. At Alcatel, he worked on developing a cup-holder for high speed router X. In his new job, he is working on designing a cup-holder on a competing product that just happen to bear an uncanny resemblance to the one he developed for Alcatel, and was, incidentely, added to the product not long after he was hired... There is a good reason why Alcatel win most of their lawsuits (beside having a good legal departement)...
