The plaintiff, Knowmadics, sought an interim injunction to restrain the defendants, Lisa Cinnamon and LDX Inc., from offering for sale and selling certain software ("cover app") and requiring its removal from their website.
Knowmadics alleged copyright infringement and breach of confidentiality agreements regarding software developed while Cinnamon was an employee and contractor.
The defendants claimed prior ownership of the cover app.
The court applied the three-part test for an interim injunction, finding a serious issue to be tried regarding ownership and NDA infringement, irreparable harm to Knowmadics due to customer confusion and devaluation of investment, and that the balance of convenience favored Knowmadics.
The motion for interim relief was granted.
