§78-87.
A. Actual or threatened misappropriation may be enjoined. Upon
application to the court, an injunction shall be terminated when the
trade secret has ceased to exist, but the injunction may be continued
for an additional reasonable period of time in order to eliminate
commercial advantage that otherwise would be derived from the
misappropriation.
B. In exceptional circumstances, an injunction may condition future
use upon payment of a reasonable royalty for no longer than the period
of time for which use could have been prohibited. Exceptional
circumstances include, but are not limited to, a material and
prejudicial change of position prior to acquiring knowledge or reason
to know of a misappropriation that renders a prohibitive injunction
inequitable.
C. In appropriate circumstances, affirmative acts to protect a trade
secret may be compelled by court order.
