Provisional Remedy Pro-vi-sional rem-e-dy A court order issued before a final judgment in a case to preserve the status quo or prevent harm. Examples include temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. The court granted a provisional remedy prohibiting the company from releasing the allegedly infringing product until the copyright lawsuit is resolved. There are many cases involving provisional remedies. One famous example is Apple v. Samsung (2011), where a preliminary injunction was issued against Samsung. ← Back to BrowseNext Term →
