Temporary Restraining Orders

Temporary restraining orders are requested by plaintiffs to prevent defendants from operating before a preliminary injunction hearing can occur. Because the grant of such relief is extraordinary, the temporary restraining order results in a shortened hearing before a judge (not a jury). There, the issues are not exactly the same as at trial. The outcome of this process can cause a fast settlement.

Bringing or defending a temporary restraining order motion in an intellectual property case (whether patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secrets) requires experienced intellectual property attorneys.
