Details

This book explores the legal landscape of noncompetition agreements, both past and present, as a means of safeguarding trade secrets in business law.

Noncompete agreements have long been one of the measures that businesses have used to protect trade secrets and confidential information. However, recent state and federal attempts to ban or limit noncompetes are resetting the competitive environment, both in terms of employee mobility and their effect on innovation. Likewise, these changes are prompting businesses and entrepreneurs to reassess their reliance on noncompetes and begin exploring alternate or supplemental legal agreements that might be used to accomplish their goals. The book provides readers with an international and comparative perspective of these issues. Additionally, it offers a means of navigating the increasing legal restrictions on noncompete agreements by suggesting practical alternative measures. It argues that, as the enforceability of noncompete agreements is coming under increasing scrutiny, business owners must be informed and agile-minded in considering and implementing alternative measures to protect their trade secrets and proprietary confidential information.

This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of business law, trade law, and employment law.
