Connecticut legal context

Connecticut adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act at Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 35-50 to 35-58. Restrictive covenants are evaluated under the common-law five-factor reasonableness test (legitimate business interest, geographic area, duration, public interest, and protection of the parties' interests). Connecticut also restricts non-competes for physicians, broadcasters, and security guards by industry-specific statutes.
