Papermaster Wrapped Up

Apple And IBM Resolve Employment Dispute; Papermaster Can Now Get To Work:

"Well, now he can finally go make future iPhones and iPods for Apple. The two companies have settled out of court. It kind of makes you wonder why companies even bother with non-compete clauses in employment contracts, especially when they are overly broad. More often than not, they are not worth the paper they are written on."

I expect there a confidentiality clause will limit any further information. Those keeping a closer eye on this industry might notice some change in money or technology. That would be my guess as I suspect IBM would not leave without some sort of compensation. (For an example, take a look at this post from The Trade Secrets Blog.)

And that is about all there is to know. Looking back, I noticed that I failed to post a memorandum of law filed in the case (thank you, Findlaw). It is in PDF format for those wanting to see it.
