Apple already have their patents. That’s what patents are for! The startup can’t do exactly what Apple did, or they would be sued. The startup will have to use their knowledge to create NEW tech, and that’s an excellent result.

Everybody in the world is after Apple, so they’re completely justified in making sure engineers can’t work in their fields after working for them.
