The denial of a permanent injunction removes a key operational overhang — TechnipFMC can continue using its training materials without restriction. The $1.85M damages award is trivial for a $30B company. Monitor for any appeal of the underlying verdict by either party, but the immediate risk of business disruption has been eliminated.

Executive Summary
A federal district court denied plaintiff Crosby Legacy Company's emergency motion for a permanent injunction against TechnipFMC regarding alleged misappropriation of proprietary quality training materials. The jury had previously awarded Crosby $1,850,000 in damages for misrepresentation, but the court found that Crosby failed to show the verdict was based on misappropriation and that money damages were adequate compensation. This removes the risk of an injunction that could have restricted TechnipFMC's use of its training materials, a positive outcome for the company.
Court Ruling Details
