I would like to think that POET has kept anyone from knowing all the pieces to the puzzle aka. Apple methods, to prevent any serious transfer of IP to a competitor.
We all have to understand that these men in control of our IP are not stupid and would not allow the IP to walk away unhindered.
And that's not even to mention NDA's.
Ya, we're hiring dozens of people to have it all blow up in our faces.
Doesn't seem likely to me.
