eBay's Long Shadow Falls Over Presumption of Irreparable Harm in Trademark Infringement Cases: Ninth Circuit | Practical Law
In Herb Reed Enterprises, LLC v. Florida Entertainment Management, Inc., the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the US District Court for the District of Nevada's grant of a preliminary injunction against the defendants' use of the THE PLATTERS trademark, ruling that after the US Supreme Court's decisions in eBay and Winter the movant for a preliminary injunction in a trademark infringement action can no longer rely on a presumption of a likelihood of irreparable harm.
