Key TakeawaysA Texas district court judge has issued a summary judgment decision in Ryan, LLC v. Federal Trade Commission vacating the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Noncompete Rule (Rule) nationwide. Unless and until an appeal is heard and decided, the Rule will not take effect on September 4. This decision follows the same court’s July 3 preliminary decision to block the Rule on employment-based noncompetes but, in that decision, only for the parties to the case.
