Federal and state legislatures have developed a certain stark inconsistency when addressing trade secrets and the protection of confidential and proprietary information. While enacting the Defend Trade Secrets Act and tightening trade secret protection and enforcement, federal and state governments are simultaneously attacking and scrutinizing employee noncompetition agreements and other post-employment obligations.
