As the economy goes from bad to worse, companies
have become more aggressive in enforcing non-compete
agreements against departing employees and suing
those former workers for trade-secret misappropriation,
the Workforce Management news Web site reported.
Cases are filed to salvage what's lost when an employee
leaves and to send a message to other employees,
Marguerite Walsh, a partner at San Francisco's Littler
Mendelson, told Workforce Management.
These days, companies are suing more departing junior
employees than in the past, instead of just the most
senior executives, according to Workforce Management.
Companies are even enforcing non-compete agreements
against employees they terminate, Workforce
Management reported.
Trade Secret Non-Compete Litigation on the Rise
