Alison

"The decision indicates that anti-competitive employment agreements, therefore, are enforced only to the extent necessary to protect the employer from unfair competition that stems from the employee's use or disclosure of trade secrets or confidential customer lists or where the employee's services are unique. Here, defendant does not allege that Nigra will use trade secrets or confidential customer information, but relies on the uniqueness of her services to justify enforcement of the restrictive clause. However, in assessing plaintiff's likelihood of success, the Court notes that "unique services" is a very slim reed which has never actually served as the sole basis for judicial enforcement of an *anti-competition clause*"

You can\'t just say \"competition clause\" because you need to reflect the \"prohibition\" part somehow.
