US judge restricts former DraftKings executive’s work for Fanatics
A US federal judge issued a preliminary injunction limiting Michael Hermalyn’s work for Fanatics until 1 February 2025, according to reports of the ruling. Judge Julia Kobick found that evidence indicated Hermalyn likely mishandled DraftKings trade secrets and breached a non-compete agreement. DraftKings welcomed the order; Fanatics said it disagreed with parts of the ruling and noted Hermalyn could continue working outside the restricted areas.
The order limits Fanatics’ ability to assign Hermalyn work connected to his former DraftKings role.
