Intellectual property laws — patents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrecy — balance the protection of inventions and creativity with the free flow of ideas. The best businesses are already realizing that rather than deny the mounting evidence about the harms of noncompetes, they can lead the way in embracing a competitive talent market. With the new rule, companies must move forward by attracting talent and fueling innovation rather than preventing mobility. Entire industries will benefit.
The Federal Trade Commission made history when it passed a new rule essentially banning non-compete agreements, or contracts that set terms or conditions of employment that explicitly prohibit a worker from competing with a former employer (such as through future employment with a competitor).

🚨 Federal Trade Commission’s Non-Compete Ban Blocked Nationwide 🚨 On August 20, 2024, a federal court permanently blocked the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) rule that would have primarily banned non-compete agreements between employers and employees. Judge Ada Brown ruled that the FTC lacked the authority to enforce this rule, calling it "arbitrary and capricious" and "unreasonably overbroad." This ruling brings relief and clarity after months of uncertainty for employers. However, staying informed about state-level restrictions that may still impact non-compete agreements is essential. If you have questions about how this decision affects your business or need legal guidance, we recommend contacting attorney James Reid. He can provide expert advice and help you navigate these complex legal waters. 📞 Contact James Reid at Honigman LLP.
