U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Jacki Easlick, LLC v. Cj Emerald
August 14, 2026
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of a preliminary injunction because Jacki Easlick failed to show a likelihood of success on its design-patent infringement claim or irreparable harm. The court held that the district court properly compared the overall visual impression of the designs, considered distinguishing ornamental features, and reasonably determined that the submitted evidence of harm was conclusory and unsupported. The court also affirmed the denial of reconsideration because the purportedly new evidence was previously available and no error or extraordinary circumstance warranted reconsideration.
