Non-Compete Agreements

In Delaware, a restrictive covenant not to compete after termination of the employment relationship will be enforced only to the extent that it is reasonable to do so. Knowles-Zeswitz Music, Inc. v. Cara, 260 A.2d 171 (Del. Ch. 1969). Such restraints upon competition must be reasonable both in respect of time and area. John Roane, Inc. v. Tweed, 89 A.2d 548 (Del. Supr. 1952).
