In addition to the other remedies provided under this act,
the Attorney General, at the request of the department, may
initiate, in Commonwealth Court or the court of common pleas of
the county in which the defendant resides or has his place of
business, an action in equity for an injunction to restrain
violations of this act or a trademark license agreement. In the
proceeding, the court shall, upon motion of the Commonwealth,
issue a preliminary injunction if it finds the defendant is
engaging in unlawful conduct under this act or is engaging in
conduct that is causing immediate or irreparable harm to the
public. The Commonwealth may not be required to furnish bond or
other security in connection with the proceedings. In addition
to an injunction, the court, in equity proceedings, may levy
civil penalties as provided under section 9.
