Chip startup Rivos says Apple intimidates workers who ‘dare to leave’

Chip startup Rivos is counter-suing Apple, alleging that the tech giant enforces restrictive agreements preventing employees from working elsewhere, stifling emerging companies that hire its staff. Rivos and six ex-Apple employees are asking the court to rule Apple's non-disclosure and non-solicit agreements as "overbroad" and unenforceable. Apple had previously sued Rivos and former employees for allegedly luring away engineers and stealing proprietary information. The dispute revolves around "system-on-chip" technology. Rivos argues that Apple's agreements discourage employee mobility and competition. The case highlights concerns over trade secrets, employee mobility, and competition in the tech industry.
