Now more than ever, companies invest significant time and effort to create new and innovative ideas they want to protect from their competitors. These ideas may include formulas and techniques to manufacture goods and provide services, as well as strategies for cultivating customer lists and for serving customers.
At the same time, companies worry competitors will obtain their trade secrets and undercut their advantages in the marketplace, especially by poaching employees or when participating in a joint venture.
Finally, companies want to ensure they are not exposing themselves to liability simply by hiring a new employee from a competitor.
