Such a covenant is encountered principally in contracts of employment, partnership, or sale of a business. The protection of trade secrets, customer lists, business methods specific to a particular employer, and the unique qualifications of the employee have been held to constitute legitimate interests for protection by convenants not to compete. If too restrictive, covenants may be declared invalid. About the Series:Pocket-size books each list and define several thousand specialized terms alphabetically.
