Tom Doherty Associates, Inc. v. Saban Entertainment, Inc.
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
60 F.3d 27 (1995)
Relevant factsFree
TOR (plaintiff), a minor children's-book publisher, had an exclusive publishing arrangement with Saban (defendant) that would have let it publish books for the newly successful Power Rangers franchise, but Saban, no longer needing TOR after the show's success, licensed other publishers instead; the district court found the opportunity was "likely to transform TOR's fortunes" and granted a preliminary injunction.
IssueFree
Whether loss of prospective goodwill, if imminent and unquantifiable, may constitute irreparable harm justifying injunctive relief.
