    Default Confidential Information

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Hawaii

    I am an american citizen and reside in the state of Hawaii.

    For the past four years, I have been working for a financial institution in Tokyo, Japan. I was let go without reason. I developed some trading and maketing models myself while at the firm. Is it legal to sell them or simply give them away? Will I be sued or prosecuted? If so, by whom? I understand that Japanese law has no purchase in the US? I signed no confidential non compete agreement with my ex employer.

    Default Re: Confidential Information

    You would have to check the legality with a lawyer in Japan, and try to gauge your company's inclination to sue based upon its past history.

    It's possible for a foreign company to try to sue you in the United States. It's going to depend, in no small part, upon the terms of your contract and what the information is worth.
