ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT LAW AND ECONOMICS, Dau-Schmidt, Harris & Lobel, eds., Edward Elgar Publishing, 2009 San Diego Legal Studies Paper No. 08-059 ORLY LOBEL, University of San Diego - School of Law, Harvard Law School Email: lobel@sandiego.edu This chapter, for the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Labor and Employment Law and Economics, provides an overview of legal and economic analysis of contractual and regulatory constraints on the use of knowledge, skill and information acquired during the employment relationship.
