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. It is meant to provide a long-term solution to prevent future harm. Once a permanent injunction is granted, it remains in effect until the court modifies or dissolves it. Violating a permanent injunction can lead to legal consequences, including fines or other penalties. This legal tool is often used in cases involving intellectual property, property disputes, or contract violations.
