Edwards v. Arthur Andersen LLP (2008)
44 Cal.4th 937 · Supreme Court of California
California Business and Professions Code section 16600 prohibits non-compete agreements except in narrow statutory exceptions. Non-competition agreements are void and unenforceable regardless of reasonableness, reflecting California’s strong public policy favoring employee mobility and open competition.
The Retirement Group v. Galante (2009)
176 Cal.App.4th 1226 · Court of Appeal, Fourth District
Reaffirmed Edwards: section 16600 represents a strong public policy of California in favour of open competition and employee mobility. Non-solicitation agreements are also unenforceable as de facto non-compete agreements.

Marco — Accounting
Tax research answered in seconds, not hours.
Most accountants ring a taxation agent to verify what they’re doing is correct. That call takes time. The answer takes longer. With Marco for Accounting, every IRS code section, every revenue ruling, every regulatory citation is verified against official sources and returned in seconds. The CPA never leaves their workflow.

Every section of the Internal Revenue Code searchable and verified against IRS.gov
Revenue rulings

State tax codes

Example query
“What is the Section 199A qualified business income deduction threshold for a married couple filing jointly in 2026?”
Marco returns the exact threshold, the relevant IRC section, the applicable Treasury Regulation, and links to the official IRS source — all verified, all cited, all in under 3 seconds. The CPA who used to spend 20 minutes searching IRS.gov now has their answer before they finish their coffee.
Marco — Intellectual Property
Patents. Trademarks. Copyright. Trade secrets.
IP attorneys bill $500–$800/hour and do enormous amounts of research. Marco for IP is a dedicated domain that understands patent claims, trademark likelihood of confusion, prior art analysis, and IP case law. And because IP work always has tax implications — licensing revenue, IP holding entity structures, R&D credits — Marco spans both IP law and accounting in a single query.
USPTO patent search
Search patent records, analyse claims, find prior art, track expiry and maintenance fees
Trademark search (TESS)
Likelihood of confusion analysis, monitoring for conflicting new filings, registration status
Copyright research
US Copyright Office records, fair use analysis grounded in case law, DMCA precedents
Trade secret law
State-by-state analysis of Uniform Trade Secrets Act adoption, misappropriation cases
IP case law
Infringement cases, licensing disputes, and trade secret misappropriation via CourtListener
WIPO international
International patent and trademark records via Madrid Protocol for global IP strategy
Zero hallucinations
Every citation verified before you see it.
In 2023, a New York attorney was sanctioned for submitting AI-fabricated citations to a federal court. That will never happen on Marco Reid. Every case, every statute, every ruling is checked against authoritative public domain sources before it reaches your screen.
✓
Verified
Confirmed in authoritative source. Direct link provided. Safe to cite.
−
Unverified
Could not be confirmed. Flagged visibly. Do not rely without checking.
×
Not Found
Does not exist. Blocked from insertion into any document. Period.
The moat
The product nobody else can build.
“What are the immigration tax implications of this corporate structure for a Tier-1 visa applicant?”
That query requires both legal research and tax intelligence simultaneously. Westlaw can’t answer it. QuickBooks can’t answer it. Nobody else owns both sides of the law-accounting boundary. Only Marco Reid can answer it — because The Oracle spans both domains in a single search.
This is not an incremental improvement. This is a category that did not exist before Marco Reid created it.
