This complicated multipart question is about intellectual property. First, a designer (an architect?) breaches his contract with a construction company and offers his grand plans for a unique race track to his employer's competitor. (He signed a contract stating he will not work for a competitor for ten years after leaving employment.) He passes the plans to the competitor and goes to work for them but not on this very project. The competitor steals the project from the original company and gets to do the project instead of the original company--it is not stated if this second company knows about the designer's contract breach. 1) How successfully can the first company sue the second one and on what grounds? Furthermore, after the second company finishes the race track, the race track owners discover the unethical designer sold identical plans to a rich developer in the Arab world where another race track was built. 2) Should the race track sue the second construction company, which did not know about the designer's shady dealings, and will the plaintiff win and on what grounds? What will happen if the Arab developer sues the second company when he finds out that a similar race track has been constructed in the U.S.? This is an international intellectual property issue now. Thank you.
