Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-compete agreements drafted for employees of Internet companies have been held subject to larger geographic restrictions than for other types of companies due to the nature of the Internet business, which allows employees to work remotely and potentially compete with their former employer from anywhere in the world. Courts have held that larger geographic restrictions are necessary to protect the employer's legitimate business interests.
