...Noyce joined with fellow Shockley "traitor" Gordon Moore to found Intel.

By 1974 Intel was so successful that Noyce traded day-to-day management for industrywide concerns, like leading a consortium called Sematech to stave off foreign competition. He died...
...license the manufacture of Bakelite. Competitors soon marketed knockoffs--most notably Redmanol and Condensite, which Thomas Edison used in a failed attempt to dominate the nascent recording industry with "unbreakable" phonograph disks. The presence of inauthentic Bakelite out there led to an early 20th century version of the "Intel Inside" logo.

Following drawn-out patent wars, Baekeland negotiated a merger with his rivals that put him at the helm of a veritable Bakelite empire...
...Intel co-founder Gordon Moore's rule of thumb, that chip power doubles every 18 months as prices decline, is now known as Moore...
Waste Management may specialize in garbage, but it isn't the only outfit accused of playing dirty. Far from it.

Since passage of the Economic Espionage Act, only 13 criminal cases have gone to indictment. In December two men were sentenced for scheming to sell Intel prototype microchips to rival Cyrix, and most recently a California man, David Kern, was charged with stealing engineering secrets from his former employer, Varian Associates, a leading Silicon Valley maker of radiotherapy systems used to treat cancer. For more than a year, a federal grand jury has reportedly been looking into whether a subsidiary of financial-information giant Reuters was involved in an attempt to steal data from rival Bloomberg (Reuters says...
