CA Vs. MA In Battle Over Non-Compete Clause

Lucas123 writes "A case was filed with superior courts in California and Massachusetts involving a former EMC top executive who is trying work for HP. The case is throwing into relief Massachusetts's and California's differing approaches to non-compete clauses in employment contracts. California courts have argued that non-competes hamper a person's ability to traverse the marketplace freely for work, while Massachusetts courts say the agreements actually afford freedom to develop technology without the fear of IP theft."

    In socialist countries no one competes. The People's Republics of Taxaschusett and Kalifornia must be confused.

    Well, given how Silicon Valley is vastly more important than Boston (which used to have parity), you can see which approach is more useful for technological advancement.

    That's such an ignorant statement its not even funny. Please take your head out of your ass.
