§ 24-2-3-3. Injunction against misappropriation; exceptional circumstances
Sec. 3. (a) Actual or threatened misappropriation may be enjoined.

(b) If the court determines in exceptional circumstances that it would be unreasonable to prohibit future use, an injunction may condition future use upon payment of a reasonable royalty for no longer than the period of time the use could have been prohibited.
(c) In appropriate circumstances, affirmative acts to protect a trade secret may be compelled by court order.
