Blue Pencil Doctrine

Blue Pencil Doctrine
This doctrine holds that if courts can render an unreasonable restraint reasonable by scratching out the offensive portions of the covenant, they should do so and then enforce the remainder. Traditionally, the doctrine is applicable only if the covenant in question is applicable, so that the unreasonable portions may be separated. E.P.I, of Cleveland, Inc. v. Easier, 12 Ohio App.2d 16, 230 N.E.2d 552, 556
