In a well-reasoned opinion, Berg J. set the standard that these business agreements should be evaluated in the application for enforcement. In the fight for the application of the special provision before the court, Justice Berg conducted a thorough and comprehensive review of the history of law in Michigan, beginning with a decision of the Michigan Supreme Court of 1873. Confidentiality agreements are widely used in the high-tech, biotech and pharmaceutical industries as well as in all sectors where formulas, designs, inventions, patents and trade secrets are used for the manufacture of proprietary products.

The relevance of an agreement on the seller`s non-compete commitments depends in part on the nature of the transaction that is the origin of the agreement. For example, an attempt by a personal tax preparation company in Dallas to prevent a contract accountant who served as a tax expert for personal corporate income tax information would be inappropriate.

Berg, in Innovation Ventures, LLC v Custom Nutrition Laboratories, LLC, et al., 2020 WL 1531700 (March 31, 2020), was asked to enforce a 20-year non-compete agreement between the parties on the basis of a settlement agreement with an earlier dispute.
