Four Steps to An Injunction

The trial court issued a preliminary injunction in the Symons case for misappropriating trade secrets. Here are the four standards for issuing a preliminary injunction:

1) Whether or not the party seeking the injunction has an adequate remedy at law;

2) Whether granting the injunction would disserve the public interest;

3) Whether the party has established a reasonable likelihood of success at trial; and,

4) Whether the injury to the party seeking the injunction outweighs the harm to the party who would be enjoined.
