A permanent injunction is a court order that requires a person or entity to stop doing a specific action indefinitely. This type of injunction is typically issued after a trial, where the court determines that the action in question causes harm or violates the rights of another party. Unlike temporary injunctions, which are short-term solutions, permanent injunctions are intended to provide a long-lasting resolution to a legal dispute. Once a permanent injunction is granted, the affected party must comply with the court's order. Failure to do so can result in legal penalties, including fines or additional court actions. Permanent injunctions are often used in cases involving issues like intellectual property, property disputes, or environmental regulations.
