FAQ
One remedy is injunctive relief, which restrains the defendant from future copying of the work. A preliminary injunction can be sought early in the case to restrain copying during the lawsuit.
Injunctions can offer relief where monetary compensation does not suffice or is not appropriate. For example, in the case of bankruptcy, it is more appropriate to ask debt collectors to halt their collection efforts than to request financial rewards.
In many cases, a contract will include an injunctive relief clause stating that one or both parties are entitled to relief to prevent them from suffering harm due to a breach of contract.
An alleged infringer can assert a number of common defenses in response to a patent infringement claim, including: ∎ A defense of non-infringement (see Non-infringement). ∎ Invalidity defenses based on prior art (see Prior Art Invalidity).
What Is an Example of Injunctive Relief? Theft of Clients: If a former employee poaches a company's clients, the innocent party may try to stop the former client from causing further damage. Breach of Contract: Injunctive relief is an effective way to stop an offending party from continuing to breach a contract.
In many patent suits, patent holders seek injunctive relief to prevent an accused infringer from continuingto practice the patented invention. Whether an injunction can be granted depends on various considerations a judge may weigh under her equitable powers.
These courts consider: (1) the likelihood of success on the merits; (2) irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted; (3) whether a balancing of the relevant equities favors the injunction; and (4) whether the issuance of the injunction is in the public interest.
Injunctive relief, also known as an “injunction,” is a legal remedy that may be sought from the courts to require a defendant to stop doing something (or requiring them to do something).
