First, determine the pros and cons of seeking injunctive relief. If you decide to move forward with a request for preliminary injunction, an attorney will need to file a lawsuit on your behalf. Next, the attorney will file either an application for a temporary restraining order or a motion for a preliminary injunction. A preliminary injunction can only be issued after notice to the other side and a full hearing. A temporary restraining order may be issued more quickly and without notice to the other side in some instances. However, a temporary restraining order only lasts for a brief time. Courts will often deny a request for injunctive relief if there is excessive delay in bringing the motion. So, if you think your company may need injunctive relief, you should act now.
