Ugh. This is corporate authoritarianism at its most shameless.
Companies do not own someone’s expertise. This includes domain knowledge obtained in the course of their employment. If you wish to reserve the right to exploit an invention, patent it.
For everything else, I refer you to Intel vs NEC over the cloning of the 8086 (spoiler: Intel lost).
