The Bad Neighbor, by Freda Moon [State Farm v. Pyorre]: "Issue Number Three: After State Farm terminates a contract, they claim sole ownership of their former-agent's 'trade secrets' (the client list the agent developed during their years with the company). For Pyorre, this was especially irksome. As a lifelong Fort Bragger, his clients were his friends and family, the people he went to high school with. Pyorre's business was insurance, and if he couldn't sell for State Farm and couldn't sell for anyone else, what was he supposed to do?
The whole thing would have been different, he acknowledges, if he had done something really wrong, something worthy of the sacking he received. But Pyorre missed one meeting, after 27 years with State Farm. State Farm had no other complaints against him."
