Texb- you have it backwards. As I understand the decision, the lower court erred on BOTH fronts:
1- non-manuf. not entitled to injunctive relief - Actually the Supreme Court reinforced the rights of non-manufacturers to obtain an injunction.
2- the lower court failed to apply the proper standard tests in granting the injunction, and this the reason the Supreme Court reversed the injunction and sent it back to the lower court for reassessment.
Ultimately, this was a victory for IPR houses like IDCC, and most likely a time delay for eBay. The lower court got it all wrong in every way. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has upheld the property rights of patent holders to exclude usage.
