You don't need a trial.  You petition the court for a restraining order.  The
defendent (in this case, there is none since no one is being sued yet) is not
present since it's almost like a warrant.  You just get it signed.  

What company would drag someone to court just for legal expenses?  They want
damages or it's not worth the time and effort.

If they just want to stop him, they don't even have to sue.
