Rule 65 lays out the requirements for obtaining immediate relief (a temporary restraining order, or TRO), as well as intermediate relief (a preliminary injunction), and permanent relief (a judgment, or final decree).
Injunctive relief means that the discloser is able to obtain a preemptive court order preventing the information from being spread. A clause can entitle a party to apply for an injunction to prevent the other party disclosing, or continuing to disclose, the confidential information.
An agreement may also set out the consequences for a breach of a confidentiality provision (however, this must, for example, adequately reflect the damage suffered; a penalty is not enforceable). Further if damages are inadequate, then an injunction seeking to restrain the breach may be the appropriate solution.
An injunction is a court order prohibiting the defendant from further disclosing or using the proprietary information or trade secret that was the subject of the NDA. NDAs often state that use of information in violation of their terms constitutes “irreparable harm” to the party disclosing the information.
Injunctive relief, also known as an injunction , is a court-ordered remedy which restricts a party from committing specific actions or requires a party to complete specific actions.
Indemnity clauses in an NDA often address the consequences of breaching confidentiality in a contract and establish that compensation is required if such a breach occurs.
Some jurisdictions may require the party seeking equitable relief to post a bond or other security prior to granting such relief. The purpose of this requirement is to protect the party against which equitable relief is sought in the event it is ultimately determined that such relief was not appropriate.

Although the test for obtaining a TRO or PI may vary slightly across jurisdictions, generally a plaintiff seeking preliminary injunctive relief must satisfy a four-factor test: (1) that he or she is likely to succeed on the merits of his claims; (2) that he or she is likely to suffer irreparable harm without ...
A preliminary injunction bond is generally required to be posted by the plaintiff in a court case when a plaintiff wants to prevent the other party (the defendant) from a certain action. This type of bond indemnifies the defendant against loss if it is determined that the injunction should not have been granted.
