Preliminary Injunction
A preliminary injunction is a court order that temporarily prevents a party from taking specific actions until a more complete hearing can be held. It is used to maintain the status quo and protect the rights of the parties involved while the court considers the case. For example, if someone is accused of infringing on a patent, a preliminary injunction might stop them from using the patented technology until a final decision is made. This legal tool helps to avoid potential harm or unfair situations before the case is fully resolved.
