injunction in patent law

An injunction in patent law is a legal order that prohibits someone from making, using, or selling a patented invention without permission. If a patent holder believes their rights are being violated, they can seek an injunction to stop the infringing activity. There are two main types: a temporary injunction, which provides immediate relief while the case is being decided, and a permanent injunction, which is issued after a case concludes. Injunctions help protect the patent holder's rights and encourage innovation by allowing inventors to control how their inventions are used.
