Courts, clocks and the basics
Trade secrets sit under two laws. Oklahoma has its own Uniform Trade Secrets Act for misappropriation of trade secrets under state law. Ask an attorney which law fits your facts.
Noncompetes are controlled by statute in Oklahoma. Title 15 section 217 voids a contract that restrains someone from a lawful profession, trade or business except as sections 218 and 219 allow. Section 219A(A) says a former employee may work in the same or a similar business as long as the former employee does not directly solicit the sale of goods or services from the former employer’s established customers. An attorney should confirm the current rule for a particular agreement.

Sharing your work with care
Until you have spoken with an attorney, be careful about whom you show unfinished work to. Share only what you must, and keep a record of who received it and when. Listen for the questions the attorney asks you, because they show what matters in your situation. If a question surprises you, it is fine to say you need to check and answer later.
