I still don’t see what the problem is with competition for employees to design identical hardware. That’s the nature of free market competition, expect in a literal as opposed to polemical sense.
You also need to prove that an employee that went with a higher salary shared information in a illegal manner. And non-compete aren’t actually legal everywhere.
Oh I agree with that, but working within the current capitalist market, companies won’t like workers actually using what they’ve learned at a competing company. I just thought it was pretty important to distinguish between suing a competing company for poaching workers, and suing a company for poaching workers with the express purpose of copying a design.
