TJ-SP disclosure prohibits company from using Microsoft's name in commercial relationships
The records state that the Portugal Mobile Number List company had commercial relations, in the form of a partnership, with Microsoft. However, after disagreements between the parties, a lawsuit was filed in which Microsoft asked the Brazilian company to stop using its name, which had been denied in the first instance.
When voting to grant the injunction, the rapporteur, Carlos Abrão, spoke of the need to avoid greater risk and irreversible damage to Microsoft. Furthermore, he stated that, as it is an injunction, which will have a "broader connotation throughout the instruction", the decision can be reviewed at any time.
“The provisional and also temporary suspension resulting from the urgent anticipatory protection has the effect of avoiding new misunderstandings and irreversible damages, insofar as the appellant presents itself as a partner of the appellant, which, before third parties, has as its scope the duty , not only to preserve its image, but above all to guarantee the product resulting from the contractual business”, he stated.
