Compared to...? An individual leaving a large company and giving our legitimate trade secrets to a competitor company potentially ruining revenues (and thus salaries) for thousands?

There are plenty of legitimate reasons for lawsuits from large corps to individuals. I have no idea if this is one of them. incidentally, that is why judges exist.

> legitimate trade secrets

How long do trade secrets legitimately last in your view?

There is room for people to have different views on this.

The law is not equal when the parties have very different levels of resources. The existence of judges does not change this.

I'm sure coke thinks trade secrets are both quite important and last quite a while.

The quality of evidence tends to outweigh the quality of lawyer, assuming reasonable competence.
