I have a friend who got a new job, then gave it up because his previous employer "reminded" him that he had signed a non-compete. Now, we're both in Ohio, where it likely would have been enforceable, but the point I'm making is that a court case wasn't necessary - the mere threat was sufficient.

Had the same reminder when I changed jobs (in MA) ages ago. That reminder went to me and to the general counsel of my new employer. Got hauled into a meeting with HR and general counsel where they both said basically “we got the same letter; we don’t think we compete nor would a court find we do; we’re sending them the following letter; don’t worry about it and get back to work.”
