Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: Can NYS Court issue injunction in CT, MA

Trade secrets are trade seecrets and the damage caysed can exist outside NY.

The contract limits his activities in the state but if the theft of the tradde secrets is proven the effect exists without the state.

You have a short statutory time within which to answer the complaint. Time is of the essence an the use of an attorney appears imperative.

Feel free to contact this office for a limited phone consult.

Good Luck.

Re: Can NYS Court issue injunction in CT, MA

If your headquarters is in or if you have operations in New York, and if you are being sued in a New York court, the New York court will have clear jurisdiction to issue an injunction against your company, even if the act being enjoined would take place outside the borders of New York. It's not at all uncommon for the courts of New York to issue such orders.

I'm guessing from your question that you have, through a licensed attorney, already answered the other company's complaint or order to show cause - but if you have not, you should be aware of the limited amount of time you have to respond, and should consult an attorney immediately.
