Supreme Court Rules for eBay in Patent Case: Expert Lawyer Calls Decision Surprising
Market Wire, May, 2006
In a surprising turn, the Supreme Court overturned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's decision granting patent holder MercExchange an injunction against eBay, unanimously sending the case back for reconsideration. The high court ruled that trial judges should have more discretion whether to issue permanent injunctions -- a hot issue in patent law.
