Injunctions
Intellectual property injunctions are legal court orders requiring a party to cease specific activities, such as selling an infringing product. These injunctions serve to protect the rights of intellectual property owners by reducing any further damage while the dispute is resolved.
At Panoramix IP, we’re experts in assessing whether seeking an injunction is the right tactic for your situation. If we find it necessary, we prepare a robust case, including evidence of infringement and the potential harm to your business caused by the infringer.
We guide you through the necessary legal steps, coordinating swiftly with courts to ensure deadlines are met to minimise additional damages caused by the initial infringement. A well-timed injunction can halt ongoing damage and signal the seriousness of your claim to the opposing party.
Throughout this process, we balance legal strategy with commercial realities, aiming for a swift resolution that secures your interests and protects your product or brand.

FAQs
What is an injunction in an IP dispute?
An injunction is a court order requiring someone to stop doing something – for instance to stop selling an infringing product or using your brand. In IP disputes it’s often the most important remedy, because it halts the damage rather than just compensating for it. We advise on when an injunction is realistic and how to pursue one.
What's the difference between an interim and a final injunction?
An interim (interlocutory) injunction is granted early, before trial, to stop harm while the case is decided — useful when damage is urgent. A final injunction is granted after the court has decided the case in your favour. Interim injunctions move fast and have their own tests, so quick, well-prepared action is essential. We can advise and act at speed.
How quickly can I get an injunction to stop infringement?
Where the harm is urgent, interim injunctions can be sought quickly – sometimes within days – but they require strong, well-evidenced grounds and prompt action, because delay counts against you. If you’re facing serious, immediate damage from infringement, contact us straight away so we can move fast.
What do I need to prove to get an IP injunction?
For an interim injunction, courts broadly look at whether there’s a serious issue to be tried, whether damages alone would be an adequate remedy, and where the ‘balance of convenience’ lies – plus how promptly you acted. Strong evidence of your rights and of the harm is key. We assess your prospects candidly before you commit to an application.
