ORDER
Pending before the Court is the Motion for Preliminary Injunction (ECF No. 9)
9
10
filed by Plaintiff Organogenesis Inc. (“Plaintiff”) against Defendant Faythe Ness
11
(“Defendant”). Defendant filed a Response (ECF No. 19), and Plaintiff filed a Reply
12
(ECF No. 22).

I.

BACKGROUND
Defendant is a former employee of Plaintiff, a medical products company that
15
specializes in regenerative medical products. (Compl. ¶ 5, 13, ECF No. 1). In 2015, she
16
was hired by Plaintiff as a Tissue Regeneration Specialist (“TRS”) with a primary job
17
responsibility to market and sell Plaintiff’s products. (Id. ¶¶ 9–10, 13). As a condition of
18
her employment, she entered into a non-compete agreement (the “Agreement”) with
19
Plaintiff, which prohibited her from participating in any business which is competitive
20
with Plaintiff’s business, both during her employment and for two years thereafter. (Id. ¶
21
16). Specifically, the Agreement states that Defendant may not
22
23
24
25
participate within the United States, Canada, Western Europe
or Japan as an owner, stockholder, option holder, manager,
agent, consultant, director, lender of money, guarantor,
salesperson or employee of any other business, firm or
corporation which is, or by the action of Employee would
become, competitive with the Business of the Company nor
attempt to interfere with or entice away any customer,
Page 1 of 11

3
licensee or employee or consultant of the Company.
(Agreement, Ex. B to Adamson Decl., ECF No. 9-2). Furthermore, the Agreement
defines “Business of the Company as the
4
research, development, biological engineering work, technical
and clinical feasibility investigations (conducted or
contemplated), governmental approvals (obtained or applied
for) and the products and services that may be manufactured,
fabricated, packaged, sold, distributed, licensed, offered or
contemplated to be offered for sale or license by the
Company in the field of tissue regeneration, including living
and non-living tissue and organ replacement and repair
constructs, related to the fields of wound repair, bio-surgery,
and bio-aesthetics, including but not limited to: (a) living
dermal equivalents, living epidermal equivalents, living skin
equivalents, wound coverings and wound management
products; (b) living connective tissue constructs and
biomaterial constructs for the repair and/or replacement
tendon, ligament, body-wall, cardiac tissue, vasculature,
bone, cartilage, neural tissue; (c) injectable matrix
compositions, injectable cell compositions, topical
compositions containing cytokines, growth factors, and other
cell-communication compounds; (d) natural and synthesized
collagen compositions, and natural and synthesized
extracellular matrix compositions; (e) cell culture media for
culturing cells and living constructs; (f) stem cells [and] (g)
cell-delivery constructs.

(Id.).
On April 1, 2016, Defendant informed Plaintiff of her intention to resign from her
TRS position. (Id. ¶ 25). She is currently an employee of MiMedx, one of Plaintiff’s
competitors. (Id. ¶ 35).
Plaintiff alleges that, shortly before Defendant’s resignation, Defendant began
informing Plaintiff’s current Nevada-based customers of her intent to join MiMedx. (Id.
¶¶ 30–31) Defendant allegedly continued contacting these customers, despite written
correspondence from Plaintiff ordering her to cease and desist. (Id. ¶¶ 34–36).
Page 2 of 11
Plaintiff’s Complaint, filed on May 2, 2016, alleges breach of contract and states
1
2
that Plaintiff will incur “immediate and irreparable injury” if Defendant is allowed to
3
continue her competitive activities. (Id. ¶¶ 37–43). On May 3, 2016, Plaintiff filed an
4
Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to prevent Defendant from
5
participating in her former sales territory under Plaintiff’s employ as a salesperson or
6
employee of any other business which is competitive with Plaintiff or from interfering
7
with or enticing away any of Plaintiff’s customer within her former sales territory.
8
(Emergency Mot. for TRO 21:4–12, ECF No. 8). That same day, the Court granted the
9
Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and scheduled a hearing on the
10
11
instant Motion for May 23, 2016. (Order, ECF No. 10).
II.
LEGAL STANDARD
Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a “court may issue a
12
13
preliminary injunction only on notice to the adverse party.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(1). A
14
Court may issue a preliminary injunction only if a plaintiff establishes: (1) likelihood of
15
success on the merits; (2) likelihood of irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary
16
relief; (3) that the balance of equities tips in his favor; and (4) that an injunction is in the
17
public interest. Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008).
18
“Injunctive relief [is] an extraordinary remedy that may only be awarded upon a clear
19
showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief.” Id. at 22. Finally, “[i]n deciding a
20
motion for a preliminary injunction, the district court ‘is not bound to decide doubtful and
21
difficult questions of law or disputed questions of fact.’” Int’l Molders’ & Allied
22
Workers’ Local Union No. 164 v. Nelson, 799 F.2d 547, 551 (9th Cir. 1986) (quoting
23
Dymo Indus., Inc. v. Tapeprinter, Inc., 326 F.2d 141, 143 (9th Cir. 1964)).

DISCUSSION

Likelihood of Success on the Merits
1.
Choice of Law
The Agreement contains a choice-of-law provision stating that it is governed by
5
Massachusetts law. (Agreement, ECF No. 9-2). Defendant argues that, despite this
6
provision, the Agreement should be governed by Nevada law. (Resp. 6:21–10:18, ECF
7
No. 19).
8
9
“The first step in interpreting [a choice-of-law] clause is to apply the correct
choice-of-law rules.” Paracor Fin., Inc. v. Gen. Elec. Capital Corp., 96 F.3d 1151, 1164
10
(9th Cir. 1996). “In determining the enforceability of a choice of law provision in a
11
diversity action, a federal court applies the choice of law rules of the forum state.”
12
Hatfield v. Halifax PLC, 564 F.3d 1177, 1182 (9th Cir. 2009). Nevada generally follows
13
the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws in answering choice-of-law questions that
14
arise in contracts. Progressive Gulf Ins. Co. v. Faehnrich, 752 F.3d 746, 750–51 (9th Cir.
15
2014). “So long as ‘the parties acted in good faith and not to evade the law of the real
16
situs of the contract,’ Nevada’s choice-of-law principles permit parties ‘within broad
17
limits to choose the law that will determine the validity and effect of their contract.’” Id.
18
at 751 (quoting Ferdie Sievers & Lake Tahoe Land Co. v. Diversified Mortg. Investors,
19
603 P.2d 270, 273 (Nev. 1979)).
20
However, the situs specified in the contract must have “a substantial relation with
21
the transaction, and the agreement must not be contrary to the public policy of the
22
forum.” Sievers, 603 P.2d at 273; see also Siy v. CashCall, Inc., No. 2:13-cv-00953-PAL,
23
2014 WL 37879, at *8 (D. Nev. Jan. 6, 2014) (upholding California choice-of-law
24
provision in employment contract because California “meets the substantial relationship
25
test, and . . . the agreement is not contrary to the public policy of Nevada”). To
Page 4 of 11
1
determine whether a given situs satisfies the substantial relationship test, Nevada
2
considers the following factors from section 188 of the Restatement: (1) the place of
3
contracting, (2) the place of negotiation of the contract, (3) the place of performance, (4)
4
the location of the subject matter of the contract, and (5) the parties’ domicile, residence,
5
nationality, place of incorporation, and place of business. Sotirakis v. United Serv. Auto.
6
Ass’n, 787 P.2d 788, 790 (Nev. 1990). A court applies the law of the state having the
7
more substantial relation with the transaction unless public policy concerns outweigh that
8
relation. Id.
9
Here, there is no evidence that, in signing a contract governed by Massachusetts
10
law, the parties acted in bad faith to avoid the law of any particular state. Given that
11
Plaintiff maintains its principal place of business in Massachusetts, and conducts business
12
in a number of other states, it is reasonable that Plaintiff would include a Massachusetts
13
choice-of-law provision in the Agreement. (See Compl. ¶¶ 1, 8, ECF No. 1). Further, the
14
factors from section 188 of the Restatement do not compel a determination that Nevada
15
has a more substantial relation to this action than Massachusetts. These factors do not
16
weigh so heavily in favor of Nevada as to preclude the application of Massachusetts law.
17
See Sotirakis, 787 P.2d at 790. While the parties executed the Agreement in Nevada, the
18
place of performance and location of the subject matter of the Agreement are both
19
Massachusetts and Nevada, as Defendant’s sales activity in her assigned region of
20
Nevada presumably had an effect on Plaintiff’s business in Massachusetts. (See Resp.
21
2:24–3:6).
22
Additionally, Defendant argues that Massachusetts law is contrary to “Nevada’s
23
strong public policy for protection of a person’s livelihood and prohibiting unreasonable
24
restrictions on free trade,” as codified at NRS 613.200. (Resp. 7:25–8:1). Specifically,
25
NRS 613.200(4) provides that a non-competition agreement constitutes an unlawful
Page 5 of 11
1
restraint of trade unless the agreement is (1) reasonable in its scope and duration and (2)
2
supported by valuable consideration. However, Massachusetts law similarly provides
3
that a non-competition agreement will only be enforced so long as it is “reasonable in
4
time, location, and other respects.” Struck v. Plymouth Mortg. Co., 605 N.E.2d 296, 298
5
(Mass. 1993). Thus, the Court finds that Massachusetts law is not contrary to Nevada
6
public policy.
7
Accordingly, this Court will apply Massachusetts law to the Agreement because
8
Nevada gives parties wide latitude in choosing the law they want to apply to their
9
contracts, Defendant assented to a choice of Massachusetts law by signing the
10
Agreement, Massachusetts reasonably has a “substantial relation with the transaction,”
11
and the Agreement is not contrary to the public policy of Nevada.
12
13
2.
Merits
The Winter test states that in order to show the necessity of injunctive relief, the
14
plaintiff must first prove a likelihood of success on the merits. 555 U.S. at 20. Here, the
15
Court recognizes that Plaintiff can likely show that Defendant violated the Agreement.
16
The Agreement requires Defendant to refrain from participating, for two years, in
17
any business which is competitive with Plaintiff’s business. (Agreement ¶ 2). Plaintiff
18
claims that Defendant violated the Agreement because she began working for a direct
19
competitor of Plaintiff, began contacting Plaintiff’s customers, and “is selling products on
20
behalf of MiMedx in her former Organogenesis sales territory that are directly
21
competitive to the Products, and calling upon the same customers on behalf of MiMedx
22
that she had called upon while working for Organogenesis.” (Compl. ¶¶ 26, 29, 36).
23
Plaintiff supports its claim with a declaration of Yvonne Irigoyen-Kirby, a Regional Sales
24
Manager of Plaintiff. (Irigoyen-Kirby Decl. ¶¶ 23–25, 27, ECF No. 9-1).
25
In Massachusetts, non–competition agreements are enforceable only if they are
Page 6 of 11
1
“necessary to protect a legitimate business interest, reasonably limited in time and space,
2
and consonant with the public interest.” Boulanger v. Dunkin’ Donuts Inc., 815 N.E.2d
3
572, 577 (Mass. 2004). Courts will not enforce non-competition agreements meant
4
solely to protect employers from run-of-the-mill business competition. Marine
5
Contractors Co., Inc. v. Hurley, 310 N.E.2d 915, 920 (Mass. 1974). But the protection of
6
“trade secrets, other confidential information, [and] . . . the good will the employer has
7
acquired through dealings with his customers” constitute legitimate business interests.
8
Id.; see also Alexander & Alexander, Inc. v. Danahy, 488 N.E.2d 22, 28 (Mass. App. Ct.
9
1986).
10
Defendant asserts that the Agreement does not protect a legitimate business
11
interest. (Resp. 12:22–14:11). On the other hand, Plaintiff asserts that the Agreement is
12
necessary to protect its customer goodwill and confidential information. (Prelim. Inj.
13
14:1–15:24). Specifically, Plaintiff explains that its customer goodwill is protectable
14
because Defendant was Plaintiff’s “primary point of contact with its customers in its Las
15
Vegas territory and was responsible for building relationships with customers on
16
[Plaintiff]’s behalf.” (Id. 14:7–9). Plaintiff further explains that, in the course of her
17
employment, Defendant obtained confidential information regarding Plaintiff’s
18
customers, sales plans, sales data, and marketing strategies. (Id. 14:23–15:13 (explaining
19
that Defendant attended Plaintiff’s national sales meeting where she received confidential
20
and proprietary information concerning Plaintiff’s 2016 marketing strategy for its entire
21
product portfolio, including Plaintiff’s strategy for differentiating itself from its
22
competitors like MiMedx); Irigoyen-Kirby Decl. ¶¶ 17–19). The Court finds that the
23
Agreement protects legitimate business interests—customer goodwill and confidential
24
information—of the Plaintiff.
25
Moreover, the Agreement is reasonably limited in time. It imposes a two-year
Page 7 of 11
1
restriction, and Massachusetts courts have frequently found longer time restrictions to be
2
reasonable. See, e.g., Blackwell v. E.M. Helides, Jr., Inc., 331 N.E.2d 54, 56 (Mass. 1975)
3
(finding three-year restriction to be reasonable); Marine Contractors Co., 310 N.E.2d at
4
921 (finding that non-compete lasting less than three years was not excessive); All
5
Stainless, Inc. v. Colby, 308 N.E.2d 481, 486 (Mass. 1974) (finding two-year restriction
6
to be reasonable).
7
As to the geographic scope of the Agreement, the Court finds, and Plaintiff
8
concedes, that the Agreement, as written, is too broad. However, “[i]f the covenant is too
9
broad in . . . space . . . , it will be enforced only to the extent that is reasonable and to the
10
extent that it is severable for the purposes of enforcement.” All Stainless, 308 N.E.2d at
11
485; see also Metro. Ice Co. v. Ducas, 196 N.E. 856, 858 (Mass. 1935) (“[I]f the
12
restrictive agreement would involve unreasonable restrictions in this commonwealth the
13
provision is nevertheless enforceable for so much of the performance as would be a
14
reasonable restraint.”); Whiting Milk Cos. v. O’Connell, 179 N.E. 169, 170 (Mass. 1931)
15
(“A contract in restraint of trade in which the territory is unreasonably extensive may be
16
divisible as to space and enforced in equity within a reasonable area.”). Rather than
17
enforce the Agreement to its most expansive geographical scope, Plaintiff “simply seeks
18
an injunction prohibiting [Defendant] from working for a competitor in her former [ ]
19
sales territory.” (Prelim. Inj. 16:26–28 n.3). The Court finds such a restraint on the
20
geographic scope of the Agreement is reasonable. Accordingly, because the Court finds
21
that the Agreement is enforceable and Plaintiff can likely show that Defendant violated
22
the Agreement, Plaintiff has shown a likelihood of success on the merits.
23
B.
24
To succeed on the second prong of the Winter test, the plaintiff must “demonstrate
25
that irreparable injury is likely in the absence of an injunction.” 555 U.S. at 22 (emphasis
Likelihood of Irreparable Harm in the Absence of Preliminary Relief
Page 8 of 11
1
in original). In the Ninth Circuit, “[t]hose seeking injunctive relief must proffer evidence
2
sufficient to establish a likelihood of irreparable harm.” Herb Reed Enters., LLC v.
3
Florida Entm’t Mgmt., Inc., 736 F.3d 1239, 1251 (9th Cir. 2013). A presumption that
4
irreparable harm is likely is not sufficient to justify the granting of a preliminary
5
injunction. See id. at 1242.
6
Irreparable harm cannot be “economic injury alone . . . because such injury can be
7
remedied by a damage award.” Rent-A-Center, Inc. v. Canyon Tele. & Appliance Rental,
8
Inc., 944 F.2d 597, 603 (9th Cir. 1991). However, the Ninth Circuit has recognized
9
“intangible injuries,” which constitute irreparable harm. Id. (indicating damage to
10
11
goodwill as such injury in a case regarding a non-compete clause of a contract).
Based upon Irigoyen-Kirby’s declaration, Defendant has already begun calling
12
Plaintiff’s customers to inform them that she is now working for Plaintiff’s direct
13
competitor, MiMedx. (Irigoyen-Kirby Decl. ¶¶ 24–25, 27). Moreover, despite instructing
14
Defendant to not talk to Plaintiff’s customers, Defendant has continued to do so. (Id.).
15
The Court finds that such action by Defendant demonstrates that irreparable harm is
16
likely in the absence of an injunction.
17
C.
18
Defendant asserts that she will suffer a significantly greater hardship if she is
The Balance of Equities
19
prohibited from being employed by MiMedx in Las Vegas. (Resp. 16:23–25). While the
20
Court is sympathetic to the hardship of Defendant that will result from the injunction, the
21
Court cannot find that the balance of equities tips in her favor. Defendant willingly
22
signed the Agreement upon her employment with Plaintiff. Moreover, as discussed
23
above, Plaintiff has an interest in protecting its customer goodwill and confidential
24
information. Furthermore, the Court has narrowly tailored the injunction solely to enjoin
25
Plaintiff from employment with MiMedx in her former sales territory under her employ
Page 9 of 11
1
with Plaintiff.
2
D.
3
Before granting an injunction the Court must determine that an injunction is in the
Public Interest
4
public’s interest. Winter, 555 U.S. at 24. The right to contract is fundamental and
5
includes the privilege of selecting those who will be employed by a company and under
6
what terms that employment will be. An injunction in this instance protects the public’s
7
interest in the integrity and enforceability of employment contracts. Therefore, the Court
8
finds that the public’s interest favors an injunction in this instance.
