What is the name of your state? Arizona
My former employer has asked me to remove the name of publicly available software from my resume. They claim my resume (posted on the internet) "discloses confidential information about company's competitive operational methods used in serving the company's clients. Your disclosure of this information is a material violation of the confidentiality of your contract and has damaged my client".
The software in question was not developed by me or this company I worked for. The software is available for any entity to purchase and use.
"Confidential Information" is defined in my agreement as "means any Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom Employee called or with whom Employee becomes acquainted during the term of his employment), markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information disclosed to me by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment or in any form now known or invented or discovered in the future."
I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
