The use of noncompetes is now shifting across the country. Many states are limiting the use of noncompetes. Several states have enacted or are considering prohibitions on noncompetes. Nationally, the Federal Trade Commission is engaging in a rulemaking that could ban noncompete agreements between employers and employees. What does all of this mean for your business? Are there alternatives to noncompetes that can protect your business?

To help bring all this into focus, we’ve created a three-part series called “Alternatives to Noncompetes.”

Status Updates

July 2 - July 25, 2025 – Parties respond to motion to dismiss

On July 2, plaintiffs filed a memo in opposition to Cohere’s motion to dimiss. In their opposition, plaintiffs criticized Cohere’s claim that no customer “ever has” or “ever would” use its AI models to obtain news or magazine articles and explained that Cohere’s “assertion flies in the face of how Cohere built, operates, and markets its services.” Plaintiffs criticized Cohere’s argument that its models service “enterprise” customers as opposed to individial customers, arguing that Cohere’s argument conflicts with its own marketing materials encouraging customers to use its models “to access the latest news.” Further, plaintiffs cited to their own “numerous licensing deals with corporate customers,” stating such underscore enterprise licensee’s demand for news content. Plaintiffs argued that Cohere’s motion to dismiss should be denied in full.&nbsp;&nbsp;

On July 25, Cohere replied in support of its motion to dismiss, arguing that plaintiffs’ opposition does not dispute that Cohere’s real-world business is enterprise AI that helps companies leverage their own proprietary data. Cohere characterized plaintiffs’ opposition as “lawyer argument[s] advancing the fundamentally implausible premise that Cohere’s groundbreaking technology is ‘essentially…an unlicensed news syndicator’ serving up knockoffs of news articles.” Cohere criticized the Complaint to its lack of evidence supporting plaintiffs’ argument that (1) a “key selling point” of Cohere’s business is infringing news outputs and (2) Cohere customers infringe plaintiffs’ intellectual property. Cohere requested the court reject plaintiffs’ “pleas for discovery on their implausible claims and narrow this case to the important question that is legitimately at issue: whether the development of Cohere’s groundbreaking LLM technology is fair use, as two other federal district courts have recently held.”

May 22, 2025 – Cohere filed motion to dismiss

Cohere moved to dismiss Counts II, III, and IV, and Count I, to the extent it is based on “substantive summaries.” Cohere’s argument hinges on how Cohere distinguishes itself as an AI company. Cohere proclaims to specialize “in privately deployed, business-focused (or 'enterprise') AI solutions” that allow companies to work, search their own proprietary data, translate documents into different languages, monitor internal compliance, or manage projects, such that Cohere’s customers would never use its solutions to infringe Plaintiffs’ copyrights.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Cohere filed in support of its motion on July 25, 2025 [<a href="https://admin.bakerlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ECF-54.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ECF 54</a>].&nbsp;&nbsp;

Feb. 13, 2025 – News publishers filed complaint against Cohere

News publishers filed a complaint against Cohere, Inc. In the 64 page complaint, plaintiffs describe a licensing market for their content. Some plaintiffs license their content to other AI developers, including OpenAI, ProRata.ai, and Perplexity. Developers of internal AI systems can license content through the Copyright Clearance Center. The complaint also lays out how third-party news publishers have also licensed their content for AI development, including deals with Meta, Mistral, and Google.

The complaint alleges four causes of action:
