How courts have described this case

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

  • noting that we will find an injunction order “excessively broad and consequently invalid [if] it goes far beyond restraining unlawful conduct on the part of the defendants”
  • finding that a preliminary injunction stating that “[a]ll defendants separately and jointly are restrained from using or disclosing trade secrets and confidential tech- nical information of plaintiff to any person, firm or cor- poration” is impermissibly vague
  • reversing, as too vague, an order enjoining defendants from \using or disclosing trade secrets and confidential technical information of plaintiff\
  • defendant ordered not to deal with customers \for any other machines to which such control systems and/or components are applicable\
  • where three former employees of plaintiff, all engineers, met while still employed by plaintiff to discuss the formation of a new enterprise, and left together
