Do Opera employees have to watch their steps to a greater degree than employees in other companies? I think that if you stole trade secrets from any other company and sold them to a competitor, they would sue you as well.

All you need to do to avoid being sued is to not sell trade secrets to competitors.

Well we'll see the outcome of this case, you can be sued if you didn't which may be the case here. I haven't heard of a software dev being sued like this before, so I would say Opera employees do have to watch their steps to a greater agree, given there's precedent.
