Actually the motion is IMO where HTC in fact is asking Leckrone to be deemed an Attorney in this matter, and to be included in this rule and thereby barred from contacting employees of the plantiff,

If HTC considered Leckrone to be an Attorney for TPL in this matter and an Attorney representing a client (tpl)they would have altered the wording in the complaint and in fact asked the court to censure Leckrone not just bar him from contact.,

Daniel Leckrone, an employee and an attorney for TPL, has been improperly contacting HTC employees, including members of its top management, regarding the subject matter of this litigation without consent of HTC’s counsel of records, despite of HTC’s repeated objections.

Rule 2-100 Communication With a Represented Party

(A) While representing a client, a member shall not communicate directly or indirectly about the subject of the representation with a party the member knows to be represented by another lawyer in the matter, unless the member has the consent of the other lawyer.

HTC with this order is seeking to bar Leckrone from acting as President of TPL because he is an Attorney. Even though he is not representing TPL (a client), rather he is acting in his role as President of TPL.
