In KNF&T Staffing v. Muller, a staffing agency in Boston sought injunctive relief against a former employee over alleged violation of a noncompetition agreement (such agreements are enforceable in Massachusetts, unlike in California). In rejecting the employer's request for relief, the court concluded that the company's evidence that Charlotte Muller had violated the agreement was "somewhere between very weak and nonexistent." The court noted that Muller's updating of her LinkedIn profile to disclose her new employer, job title, and contact information was not "solicitation" of KNF&T's customers as to violate her noncompetition agreement.
