Court injunction

A court injunction is a legal order issued by a court that requires an individual or entity to do or stop doing a specific action. It is used to prevent harm, resolve disputes, or maintain the status quo while a case is being decided. For example, it can stop a company from using a patent or prevent someone from trespassing. Violating an injunction can lead to legal penalties, including fines or jail. Injunctions are an important tool for courts to enforce rights and prevent damage before a full trial takes place.
