When an employee steals your secret formula, or your treasurer is leaving the country with all your money, it's a business emergency, and you are looking for more than a money judgment -- it's time for an injunction or a temporary restraining order (TRO).
Starting with the basics of injunctions and TROs, this extensive book explains the applicable standards of issuing TROs and injunctions and provides examples. The book walks you through bonds and damages, the order itself, enforcement of injunctions and TROs, and the strategy and tactics of using them.

In addition, the book details how and when to use injunctions and TROs in relation to asset protection; copyright, trademark, and patent infringement; and trade secrets. Finally, restrictive covenants and shareholder remedies are discussed in detail.
A key component of the book are the numerous examples of actual cases are cited throughout the book, reflecting the strategies outlined.
Be ready to handle the next business emergency. This book will give you the tools you'll need to successfully evaluate, create, and execute an injunction or temporary restraining order.

'"Handling the Business Emergency by Thomas E. Patterson is a handbook that every business litigator needs on his or her desk. The book distinguishes with unexpected clarity federal and state law regarding emergency injunctions and applies the mechanics of emergency injunctions explained in Part I to the more common situations in which emergency injunctions can be used in Part II. Patterson has organized the book into easy-to-find and easy-to-use sections with valuable checklists, charts, and forms. Patterson's forms are based on published cases that make them more understandable and relevant. Every beginning litigator should be introduced to Handling the Business Emergency and every busy litigator needs a copy readily at hand.
