How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that 2 days’ written notice of hearing on TRO converted into a preliminary injunction did not deny fair opportunity to oppose
• stating that “[i]f the ‘hardship balance tilts sharply and clearly in the plaintiffs favor, the required proof of likelihood of success is substantially reduced.’ ”
• holding that the place where injury is “sustained” is an appropriate venue
• concluding “that a party’s state of incorporation provides the necessary ‘substantial relationship’ for application of its laws”
• finding that an injunction restraining the defendant from “using, disclosing, or otherwise misappropriating any of [plaintiff’s] trade secrets or confidential information” satisfied the demands of Rule 65(d)
• finding defendant's acquisition of training and knowledge during trips to company headquarters in Maryland related enough to a noncompetition agreement to create personal jurisdiction
