Oklahoma rules that sit beside federal law
State trademark registrations are filed with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, and the state business portal lists the Business Filing Department as the office that processes trademark registration filings.
Oklahoma has its own Uniform Trade Secrets Act for misappropriation of trade secrets under state law.
Oklahoma controls noncompetes by statute. 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.
For companies, the state business portal says Oklahoma LLCs, corporations, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships are registered with the Secretary of State. The Business Filing Department also processes trade name and trademark filings. Registration is available electronically or by filling out the appropriate forms and submitting them to the Secretary of State. The portal describes a name availability search and a name reservation of up to 60 days.
