what is scope of a non-compete agreement
In contract law, a non-compete clause (often NCC), or covenant not to compete (CNC), is a clause under which one party (usually an employee) agrees not to enter into or start a similar profession or trade in competition against another party (usually the employer).
1 Generally the law of the state where the employee is located will apply. A contractual agreement as to which state law applies may be ineffective.  Non-competes have to be reasonable to be enforceable. Reasonableness is determined by the courts based on the specific facts in each case.
