Injunctive Relief for Patent Infringement

By LandMark Publications

THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze, discuss and apply the standard for injunctive relief in cases of patent infringement. The selection of decisions spans from 2013 to the date of publication.The Patent Act provides a patentee with the "right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the [patented] invention." 35 U.S.C. ? 154(a)(1). This right has its roots in the U.S. Constitution's Intellectual Property Clause, which refers to inventors' "exclusive Right to their respective ... Discoveries." U.S. Const. art. I, ? 8, cl. 8. In furtherance of this right to exclude, district courts "may grant injunctions in accordance with the principles of equity to prevent the violation of any right secured by patent, on such terms as the court deems reasonable." 35 U.S.C. ? 283. "[N]ot surprising[ly], given the difficulty of protecting a right to exclude through monetary remedies that allow an infringer to use an invention against the patentee's wishes," historically courts have "granted injunctive relief upon a finding of infringement in the vast majority of patent cases." eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C., 547 U.S. 388, 395, 126 S.Ct. 1837, 164 L.Ed.2d 641 (2006) (Roberts, C.J., concurring) (emphasis in original). Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., 801 F. 3d 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2015).
