I would be stunned if it's OK for someone to have proprietary info all over their house and laptop and it's fine as long as you can't find those bits on other computers owned by their new employer.

I, on the other hand, would be stunned if I hired someone from my competitor (Absolutely okay in my book), they later find things he stole from his previous employer and then judge me for having them without needing to proof it.

The question is, if you find out about the trade secrets before you get sued, how far do you have to go? Do you have to fire the employee and will you have to report this to the other company? Or is it enough to not use the secrets?
