Apple’s “aggressive” trade secrets enforcement in Rivos case fuels noncompete clause debate

Jeffrey Farrow has been quoted at length in an article published this week by IAM titled, “Apple’s ‘aggressive’ trade secrets enforcement in Rivos case fuels noncompete clause debate.” The case at the center of the story revolves around Apple’s allegation that former employees retained a significant amount of trade secret information when moving to another employer (Rivos). In his comments, Jeff shines a light on Rivos’s claim that the litigation is less about trade secrets and more about restricting the ability of employees to leave Apple in favor of different professional pursuits.
