An MPT task memo asks you to draft the argument section of a persuasive brief in support of a motion for a preliminary injunction. Your client, Harbor Analytics, alleges that a former sales director downloaded a customer-pricing spreadsheet the night before resigning and then contacted five Harbor customers for a new employer. The File contains an access log, the director's resignation email, two customer declarations, Harbor's confidentiality policy, and the director's affidavit stating that customer names are publicly available.
The Library states that courts consider likelihood of success, irreparable harm, balance of hardships, and public interest. One case grants an injunction where the defendant copied nonpublic pricing and immediately solicited customers. Another denies an injunction where the plaintiff sought to protect only public customer identities and offered no evidence of misuse.
Explain how the persuasive brief should be written. Address the requested ruling, point headings, use of favorable facts, treatment of the public-information weakness, and how the Library cases should be used.
