Aftereffects of the eBay-MercExchange "Buy It Now" Lawsuit
Quote:Now, five months after the Supreme Court's eBay ruling, at least one significant trend in district court decisions has begun to emerge. In analyzing the irreparable harm and the adequacy of monetary damages factors, courts are placing a great deal of emphasis on whether the patent owner is a manufacturer of the invention and, particularly, whether the parties are direct competitors. full article: http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1162893926274 |

eBay-MercExchange Hearing Set for Friday
Quote:eBay is set to square off in court with Merc Exchange once again. On November 17, both parties will meet in front of Judge Jerome Friedman, who presided over the original patent case in 2003. While the jury found eBay guilty of infringing on Merc Exchange patents, eBay continues to use the Buy It Now feature - stating that its design workaround put in place after the trial in 2003 makes it non-infringing. The District Court will have to consider Merc Exchange's motion for a permanent injunction against eBay's Buy It Now feature as well as other motions filed by the parties... full article: http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y06/m11/i14/s01 |
