When employees are working with patented ideas, companies can lay off staff without any fear that the layed off staff will start a competing company.

Companies can close their office in one country, open one in another country.

From the point of view of the ex-employee, they have skills that they're partially prohibited from making use of for finding a new job or starting their own company.

From the point of view of reducing unemployment, the country finds itself with many skilled people whose skills are unusable for 20 years.

Workers unions might see this as motivation to get active.
