Jimmy John's managed to enforce it on their employees for years http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/7042112

Um... that story states that the clause was never actually enforced therefore there was no valid claim of harm.

Good point, that wasn't the best article for my point! There are no specific lawsuits fighting the non-compete, however in the years following that case several states decided that the harm actually is caused simply by making employees sign the non-compete, and the company no longer has one.
