Mississippi legal context

Mississippi has not adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in full form but provides trade secret protection through the Mississippi Trade Secrets Protection Act (Miss. Code §§ 75-26-1 to 75-26-19). Restrictive covenants are evaluated under common-law reasonableness — protectable interest, scope, duration, and geography. Mississippi courts may blue-pencil overbroad covenants.
