Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that the 17-month delay “may not have been enough, standing alone, to demonstrate the absence of irreparable harm”
  • observing that “the lack of commercial activity by the patentee is a significant factor in the calculus” of whether the pat-entee will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction
  • reversing the issuance of a preliminary injunction where the patentee did \not make or sell [the relevant products] and [did] not license their manufacture and sale\
  • reversing the issuance of a preliminary injunction where the patentee did “not make or sell [the relevant products] and [did] not license their manufacture and sale”
  • finding the “rotatably coupled” limitation in the asserted claim was not met by the accused product where the accused product had to be altered—by loosen- ing the set screws—in order for it to rotate
  • seventeen months is a substantial period of delay that diminishes the sense of urgency required for issuing preliminary relief
