Another thing......Intellectural property is just that. I am a Mech. Design Engineer working at a company which makes the BEST in the world (Bar none) Optical Image Stabilized Gyro binoculars. We are not doing well and I, along with a few other Eng.nrs want to start a company doing this. We did NOT sign a non-compete (oddly enough) although my lawyer said they could still come after you within 6 months, BUT they would have to pay you your salary for that sit on your a%# time.
