Texas Federal Court Blocks FTC’s Nationwide Non-Compete Ban A Texas federal court has struck down the FTC’s sweeping rule that would have banned most non-compete agreements nationwide. Originally set to take effect on September 4, 2024, the court found the rule "arbitrary and capricious," stating the FTC overreached its authority. For now, employers can continue using non-competes, but legal uncertainty remains as the FTC may appeal. This is a big win for businesses looking to protect intellectual property and prevent unfair competition, but stay tuned—state-level rules still apply, and future federal changes could be on the horizon. #LegalUpdate #NonCompete #TexasCourt #EmploymentLaw #LMLL

Will the FTC appeal the judge's decision? The FTC is seriously considering it. If the decision is appealed, it could take many more months before the issue is conclusively resolved. In the meantime, legal oversight for non-compete agreements reverts to state law.
