How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that an asset transfer from one corporation to another involves assignment of a non-compete covenant whose validity depends on Ohio law
• “[Preparing to compete is qualitatively different than actually competing with one’s present employer and will not, by itself, support a breach of loyalty claim.”
• granting summary judgment against a breach of fiduciary duty claim where the defendants met with lawyers to plan a competing business because the activities constituted preparation to compete, not active competition
• “While it is unassailable that the assignability of the non-compete agreements serve to protect, to some extent, the good will of the business being sold, such a broad statement could be made in every single case.”
