Data Management, Inc. v. Greene
Alaska Supreme Court
757 P.2d 62 (1988)
Relevant factsFree
Data Management (plaintiff) required former employee Greene (defendant) to sign a five-year Alaska-wide covenant not to compete; after Greene's termination and Data Management's suit to enforce the covenant, the trial court initially granted a preliminary injunction but later granted summary judgment to Greene, holding the overbroad covenant was completely unenforceable.
IssueFree
Whether, if an overbroad covenant not to compete can be reasonably altered to render it enforceable, the court shall do so unless it determines the covenant was not drafted in good faith.
