Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Engineer A's use of knowledge gained during government agency employment in subsequent private employment with Company Y
Balancing with
Faithful agent obligation to Company Y
Professional competence and knowledge portability
Concrete expression
Engineer A's transition from a government agency role with access to Company X's proprietary regulatory submissions to a private engineering position with Company Y — Company X's direct competitor — implicates revolving door integrity obligations requiring Engineer A to abstain from leveraging insider knowledge of Company X's confidential designs to benefit Company Y
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Interpretation
The revolving door integrity principle prohibits Engineer A from using privileged access to Company X's confidential regulatory submissions — obtained through the public agency role — to provide competitive intelligence or design advantages to Company Y
Invoked by
Engineer A Confidentiality-Bound Government Agency Engineer
Tension resolution
General engineering knowledge and skills are portable; specific confidential information about Company X's proprietary designs obtained through the regulatory process is not, and Engineer A must maintain a strict separation between the two
