• concluding that nationwide geographic area was reasonable where plaintiff did business throughout the United States
• concluding that the enforcement of non-competition agreements that were “relatively mild” and “designed to protect [employer’s] confidential information and good will” served the public interest
• finding threat of irreparable harm from inevitable disclosure even where defendant “fully intended to protect [plaintiffs] confidential information”
• finding jurisdiction where contract had choice-of-law clause and out-of-state employees received paychecks from the forum state, sent weekly expense reports and updates to employees in the forum state, and “would, from time to time, report in person”
• noncompetition agreement with nationwide scope was reasonable because the employer sought out clinical sites across the country
• “When the employer introduce[s] the client to the salesman or the salesman cultivated his relationship with the client while employed by the employer, the good will belongs to the employer.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
