Does that tell you.

They are scared they will get found.

It's a good law. If you don't do anything wrong the courts won't reveal your IP. If you do something wrong they will. Then the company being stolen from can take it to the next level.

It's not a slam dunk, just another rung up the ladder to stop thieves.
