Contractual protection (in contrast to statutory protection) is available in most countries if any required governmental registrations, approvals and other actions are taken to assure enforceability. Even then, the scope of available remedies may be restricted, and their application is generally limited to the other party to the agreement. Confidentiality requirements are implemented by specific agreement both with licensees and in employer employee relationships. Unless expressly provided for in the agreement, injunctive relief is usually not available for breach of contract in most nations other than the United States.
