1.    Actual or threatened misappropriation may be enjoined.

2.    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 a material and prejudicial change of position prior to acquiring knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation that renders a prohibitive injunction inequitable.

3.    In appropriate circumstances, affirmative acts to protect a trade secret may be compelled by court order.
