Key Points The Northern District of Texas decision prevented the FTC’s final rule banning noncompetes from taking effect on September 4, 2024, as planned. Employers should expect the decision to be appealed to the Fifth Circuit and should be aware of similar challenges in other circuits. For now, noncompetes may be treated the same as they were before the final rule was issued.
