With so much out there on the internet and state laws tending to be geared towards protecting employees, other than a confidentiality agreement, it is difficult to do.

It would be interesting to know how franchisors are protecting their intellectual property in second life and the range of other formats that have appeared this century.
What's the law on non-compete agreements for franchise employees

What is the law on non-compete agreements for employees? Will they stand up in court??? How does an employee "stealing confidential proprietory information from a franchise affect the franchise owners obligation and liability to the franchisor?

Non-compete agreements for employees are not worth the paper they are written on, as far as I understand

But how does it affect the franchisee and its legal obligations if an employee quits and "steals" propoietory information??

I'm believe that in most states asking anyone to sign a noncompete agreement would be viewed as an "unfair trade practice,". If you violate the noncompete and the franchise sues you, you probably will win. But it could take years...
