In my stay in his office, I have learned all necessary information regarding the process of running such business though I never used any contacts and clients information to run my own. I simply used the trainings on management, service and marketing that I have undergone to establish my own. I am just afraid because he said that he would file "breach of contacts" against me because I signed an employment contract which says " You shall not use the information you derived from the company for your personal benefit and the undertaking of confidentiality shall extend beyond your tenure with the Company." Atty Fred,

They can also be things that are "out of this world," e.g. stars, comets, etc. They can also be oceans, icebergs, clouds. Moreover, those which are under public domain are also considered as outside the commerce of men: a road, a mountain, a valley, etc. (Regalian Doctrine - all lands are owned by the State) “Outside the commerce of man” is not limited to those which are illegal.

The way it was made to understand to us is that outside the commerce of man meant that one thing is illegal, such as having a contract that stipulates you to deliver fake drugs in consideration of money. Atty Fred,
