Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
California code generally prohibits non-compete agreements, although other restrictive covenants (such as those protecting trade secrets) are permissible. An exception to non-compete agreements is when an owner of a business sells the business and the goodwill associated with that business to a new owner.
