In a little more than four months, the Federal Trade Commission intends to void a half million Hawaii noncompete agreements. We summarize the commission’s newly-announced, finalized rule banning noncompete agreements; examine how it will affect Hawaii noncompete law, including law relating to the validity and enforceability of related confidentiality and noncompete agreements and nonsolicitation agreements; evaluate complaints filed in federal district courts this past week seeking to delay or halt the ban; and offer strategies for protecting your valuable investments in human capital and intellectual property.
