Heading: Defendants [and certain others] are hereby permanently enjoined as follows:

Text: 34 1. Peak [and certain others] are permanently enjoined from copying, disseminating, selling, publishing, distributing, loaning, or otherwise infringing MAI's copyrighted works, or any derivatives thereof, including those works for which registrations have issued, and works for which registrations may issue in the future. The copying enjoined herein specifically includes the acts of loading, or causing to be loaded, directly or indirectly, any MAI software from any magnetic storage or read only memory device into the electronic random access memory of the central processing unit of a computer system. As used herein, computer system means an MAI central processing unit in combination with either a video display, printer, disk drives, and/or keyboard. 35 MAI's copyrighted works, and their derivatives, for which registrations have issued include: 36 Work Cert. of Reg. No. Date Issued BOSS/IX SOFTWARE VERSION 7.5B TX 3 368 502 12/16/91 BOSS/VS LEVEL 7A TXU 524 424 (Supp.) 7/01/92 DIAGNOSTICS TXU 507 015 (Basic) 3/09/92 BOSS/VS LEVEL 7.5B TXU 524 423 (Supp.) 7/01/92 DIAGNOSTICS TXU 507 013 (Basic) 3/09/92 ---------- 37 Additional MAI copyright registrations are listed on Exh. A hereto. 38 2. (a) Peak and Francis [and certain others] are permanently enjoined from misappropriating, using in any manner in their business, including advertising connected therewith, and/or disclosing to others MAI's trade secrets, as that term is used in California Civil Code § 3426.1(d). MAI's trade secrets, for purposes of this injunction, shall include, but not be limited to the following: MAI's software, MAI's Field Information Bulletins (FIB) and all information in such FIB's, and MAI Customer Database and all information in such Database. 39 (b) In particular, the persons identified in subparagraph (a) herein are permanently enjoined from soliciting any MAI computer maintenance customer and from maintaining any contract with any former MAI computer maintenance customer where knowledge of any such customers was obtained by Francis during his employment with MAI. 40 We then stayed the permanent injunction in part by an order on February 4, 1993 which provides: 41 Appellants' emergency motion for stay of the district court's permanent injunction is granted in part. The injunction entered by the district court on February 2, 1993 is stayed to the following extent: 42 Section (A)(1), enjoining defendants from infringing MAI's copyrighted works, is stayed to the extent that it prohibits defendants from loading MAI software or operating MAI computers in order to maintain them. 43 Section A(2), enjoining defendants from misappropriating MAI trade secrets, is stayed to the extent that it prohibits defendants from loading MAI software or operating MAI computers in order to maintain them. 44 The remainder of the district court's permanent injunction shall remain in effect.... 45 Since the permanent injunction covers some of the same issues appealed in the preliminary injunction, the appeal of those issues in the context of the preliminary injunction has become moot. See Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority v. Los Angeles, 979 F.2d 1338, 1340 n. 1 (9th Cir.1992). Therefore, we grant MAI's motion to dismiss the appeal of the preliminary injunction relative to the issues of copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation. Since other issues covered in the preliminary injunction are not covered in the permanent injunction, 1 the appeals have been consolidated and both the permanent injunction and parts of the preliminary injunction are reviewed here.
