Please join Buchanan for this special two-part event series, “Navigating the FTC’s New Frontier: The Reflection of Intellectual Property and Ownership Interests on Restrictive Covenants,” where our distinguished presenters will delve into the FTC Final Rule to ban almost all post-employment and non-compete agreements.

During session one of the series, “IP Mavericks: Riding the Waves of FTC Changes,” attendees will hear from Buchanan’s Carrie Amezcua, Christopher Blaszkowski and Jaime Tuite, as well as Mark Edwards, Chief IP Counsel, Trinseo. Drawing upon their backgrounds across litigation, intellectual property and labor & employment, the speakers will address:

  1. The Final Rule from the FTC.
  2. The impact of the current district court challenges to the FTC Final Rule.
  3. The intellectual property concerns of protecting trade secrets, inventions, and other confidential information that drives companies’ value.
  4. Exceptions to the Final Rule, including ownership interests.
  5. The practical employment/business considerations to a company’s agreements, policies, and processes.

Our presenters will provide the latest developments with the anticipated, potential injunction decision in the consolidated case brought by Ryan LLC and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to be issued on or about July 3, 2024.

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit (1.0 general credit per session) is approved for California, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Credit for all other states is available upon request pending approval. SHRM credit (1.0 general credit per session) is also approved.
