Vermont § 4602 - Injunctive relief
Full text of Vermont Vermont Statutes Online § 4602 — Injunctive relief, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 4602. Injunctive relief
- (a) A court may enjoin actual or threatened misappropriation of a trade secret. Upon application
to the court, an injunction shall be terminated when the trade secret has ceased to
exist, but the injunction may be continued for an additional reasonable period of
time in order to eliminate commercial advantage that otherwise would be derived from
the misappropriation. (b) In exceptional circumstances, an injunction may condition future use upon payment
of a reasonable royalty for no longer than the period of time for which use could
have been prohibited. Exceptional circumstances include a material and prejudicial
change of position prior to acquiring knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation
that renders a prohibitive injunction inequitable. (c) In appropriate circumstances, affirmative acts to protect a trade secret may be compelled
by court order. (Added 1995, No. 90 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2013, No. 199 (Adj. Sess.), § 17.)
