Maine legal context
Maine adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act at 10 M.R.S. §§ 1541–1548. Maine's Act to Promote Keeping Workers in Maine (26 M.R.S. §§ 599-A & 599-B) limits non-competes to employees earning above 400% of the federal poverty level and imposes notice and waiting-period requirements. Confidentiality and trade secret protections remain enforceable.
