On Aug. 20, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Texas set aside the FTC's noncompete ban in the
Ryan matter, and it will not be permitted
to be implemented anywhere in the country.
The court made clear in its memorandum opinion and order that
the FTC's noncompete rule is set aside and "shall not be
enforced or otherwise take effect on September 4, 2024 or
thereafter."
While this decision may launch a long appeals process, for now
the FTC's noncompete ban and notice requirements set to take
effect Sept. 4 will not be enforced.
