Covenant Not to Compete Cases/Trade Secrets
Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements and the misappropriation of trade secrets and intellectual property can be essential for the continued protection of the employer's business. When such agreements are violated or such information is misused, employers frequently become victims of a former employee's unlawful attempt to steal clients. In Oregon, employers are entitled to file a lawsuit and injunction against the former employee and his or her new employer who breach these agreements or misappropriate proprietary information.
In Oregon, a noncompetition agreement between employer and employee is enforceable when:
. . .the non-competition agreement is entered by employer and employee at the initial time of hire or at the time of subsequent bona fide advancement . . .
In Oregon, an employer's trade secrets are protected from misuse by a former employee and his/her new employer. Trade secrets are defined to mean :
. . . information, including a drawing, cost data, customer list, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that: (a) Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. . .
