Abstract
As of now, covenants not to compete are still enforceable. The FTC voted to issue a Final Rule banning most noncompetition agreements, effective 120 days after publication in the Federal Register. Litigation aims to block this rule. Exceptions exist for senior executives and business sales. Employers must notify employees about non-enforceability, but breaches prior to the rule remain actionable. Dental practices should prepare for a potential future without noncompetition provisions.
