United States Supreme Court

The traditional four-factor test applied by courts of equity when considering whether to award permanent injunctive relief to a prevailing plaintiff applies to disputes arising under the Patent Act. A judgment reversing the denial of a motion for permanent injunctive relief in a patent infringement case against eBay is vacated where neither court below correctly applied the traditional four-factor framework that governs an award of injunctive relief.
