Permanent Injunctions

The seminal 2006 Supreme Court decision in eBay v. MercExchange has begun to ripple through the patent community. The presumptions about granting permanent injunctions in patent cases have been shattered, and the traditional four-prong test in equity used to decide permanent injunctions in other areas of law will now once again be applied in the patent context.

We have established this section of our website to provide our clients with case materials - including decisions and hearing transcripts - and constant updates on the evolving state of permanent injunctions in patent cases.
