A: To stop the company from using your technology immediately, you need to file for a temporary restraining order (TRO) in court. A TRO is an emergency measure that can halt their actions until a formal hearing can be held. You'll need to demonstrate that you’re likely to win your case and that you’ll suffer irreparable harm if the company continues to use your technology.

Gather evidence that supports your claims, including the breach of contract and the ongoing misuse of your technology. File your request in the jurisdiction where the breach occurred or where the company operates. Be prepared to argue your case before a judge quickly, as time is critical.

In addition to the TRO, consider pursuing a preliminary injunction, which can extend the court's protection while your lawsuit is pending. Taking swift action will help prevent further damage and secure your interests.
