Ask HN: Noncompete Lawsuit Against Bloomberg/Second Measure (YC W15)

The Earnest Analytics Company is suing a former Product Manager to prevent her from working at Bloomberg/Second Measure in violation of her noncompete.

The critical part here is that she is a California employee.

One of Bloomberg's defenses: > The restrictive covenants contained within the RCA are void and unenforceable under California law on the facts alleged, as applied against a California employee attempting to commence new employment in California.

If this lawsuit is successful, is this going to have implications for the tech industry in California? IANAL
