The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has implemented a ban on non-compete clauses, marking a significant shift in labor law. This directive aims to foster a more competitive landscape and reduce antitrust concerns, as outlined in the Final Rule. The rule has implications for individual worker agreements, particularly in the health care industry. The American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Federation of American Hospitals (FAH) have urged the FTC to delay the ban. Additionally, the FTC's rule may also prohibit 'functional non-compete' agreements. Legal experts from Hamilton, Brook, Smith & Reynolds suggest companies should use intellectual property protections to secure their inventions in light of this ban, addressing concerns of IP theft.
