Broadcom Corp. v. Magicomm, Inc.
Citation: 127 F. App'x 991Docket: No. 04-57147
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; May 11, 2005; Federal Appellate Court
Magicomm Technology, Inc. and its founder Leo Li (collectively "Appellants") challenge the district court's issuance of a preliminary injunction favoring Broadcom Corporation in a case concerning alleged misappropriation of trade secrets. The appeal is reviewed under Ninth Circuit Rule 3-3, with jurisdiction established under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). The court affirms the district court's decision, emphasizing that its review of a preliminary injunction is limited and deferential. Legal premises are examined de novo, while the decision to grant the injunction is scrutinized for abuse of discretion. The district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that Broadcom showed a likelihood of success regarding its claims that Li breached a non-compete agreement. Additionally, the court upheld the decision to freeze the appellants' assets in connection with allegations of fraudulent conveyances and requests for equitable relief. The court's ruling is affirmed, and the disposition is not suitable for publication or citation within the circuit, except as permitted by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
