Roche Diagnostics Corp. v. Medical Automation Systems, Inc.

In action alleging that defendants breached contract to provide software and give plaintiff first right of refusal regarding any sale of defendants' business, Dist. Ct. did not err in entering injunction that would allow defendants to sell business to third-party with understanding that plaintiff could continue to use defendants' software for certain period of time while arbitrator resolved contract question regarding plaintiff's ability to purchase defendants' business. Dist. Ct.'s entry of injunction was supported by record after consideration of concerns registered by both parties, and Ct. of Appeals added limitations with respect to sale of business to third-party that would permit parties to effectively reverse sale should arbitrator grant plaintiff's request and enforce its right to purchase business.
