A plaintiff can also frequently pursue an injunction as a remedy for breach of an NDA. An injunction is a court order prohibiting the defendant from further disclosing or using the proprietary information or trade secret that was the subject of the NDA.
In North Carolina, the legal implications of NDAs and non-compete agreements differ significantly. Non-disclosure agreements are generally more widely accepted and enforceable compared to non-compete agreements due to their narrower scope and focus on protecting specific confidential information.
Non-compete agreements are not viewed favorably under North Carolina law. To be valid, they must be designed to protect a legitimate business interest of the employer. If it is too broad to be considered a reasonable protection of the employer's business, it will not be enforced.
