#3I'm definitely rooting for Rivos on this one. I have former colleagues at Rivos, but also apple is a litigious bully. It's also super hypocritical of apple - it was totally ok for them to go after recruiting talent from the likes of Qualcomm etc when they were building up their hardware.

#4How is this news to anyone?
Steve Jobs once contacted Eric Schmidt directly when one of his engineers (1!) was approached by a 3rd party recruitment company working for Google.

#5IANAL so I don't fully understand the legal merits of this case. That said between Nuvia and Rivos it seems like the pattern is pretty clear: if you want to eventually try to do your own chip design startup, don't work at Apple.

But is that really a choice?
Besides, I belive some chip designers were aquihiers from PA Semi. They did not actively choose to work for apple.

Apple and Adobe also used to have a mutual no-headhunting policy. And speaking anecdotally I don't think I've ever heard of someone working at both companies during their career even today.

Every buy out is a new job offer with dated terms.. Look around before signing anything.
