Judge Strikes Down FTC Noncompete Ban

08/23/2024

In a win for Ohio manufacturers, a federal judge in Texas this week barred a U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule from taking effect that would ban noncompete agreements.

The judge cited that the FTC does not have the authority to ban practices it deems unfair methods of competition by adopting broad rules.

OMA Connections Partner Fisher Phillips has created an analysis of the ruling, and examines how future appeals might shape the rule. 8/20/2024
