It may be that your former employer has never sued another employee to enforce the non-compete agreement.

Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington prohibit non-compete agreements unless the employee earns above a certain salary threshold.

In Delaware, the use of Non-Competes remains legal and enforceable under certain conditions. In Kodiak, the Court declined to blue pencil a Non-Compete by reducing the scope of the business restrictions and instead found the Non-Compete unenforceable due to its unreasonable, overbroad scope.
