Overview
Non-Disclosure Agreements in Oregon
Oregon enforces NDAs under general contract law and has adopted the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Confidentiality restrictions must be reasonable in scope and duration to be enforceable.
Oregon restricts non-compete agreements for lower-income employees and imposes notice requirements, so employers should ensure any restrictive provisions bundled with confidentiality obligations comply with these protections.
