Epicor-s lawsuit asserts claims for copyright and trademark infringement, false advertising, unlawful and fraudulent business practices, intentional interference with Epicor Software License Agreements, and unjust enrichment and that Alternative has violated federal and state law.

The federal court order explicitly bars Alternative from possessing, copying, using or accessing any Epicor products or documentation which have not been validly licensed, and from using validly licensed Epicor software for an impermissible purpose.
