injunction

A court order to bring a specified activity under control. For example, Company A might ask for an injunction to prevent Company B from using advertising that includes Company A's name or trademark. A court will sometimes issue a preliminary injunction that remains effective until additional evaluation of the issue can lead to the possibility of a permanent injunction.
