Career or Business Advantage
A subject seeks to use organizational information, intellectual property, relationships, access, or other resources to improve their professional or commercial position. This may include obtaining employment, increasing their perceived value to a prospective or new employer, accelerating performance in a new role, establishing a competing business, or providing an advantage to a business the subject intends to join or create.
The anticipated benefit does not need to involve an immediate payment or direct financial transaction. The subject's primary objective is the professional or commercial advantage obtained from the infringement.
