FUJIAN HONGAN ELECTRIC CO. V. ITC 2
Fujian Hongan Electric Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Tri-
mone Electric Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively,
Fujian) move for a stay, pending disposition of this ap-
peal, of the remedial orders entered by the United States
International Trade Commission. The International
Trade Commission and Leviton Manufacturing oppose.
Fujian replies.
To obtain a stay, pending appeal, a movant must estab-
lish a strong likelihood of success on the merits or, failing
that, nonetheless demonstrate a substantial case on the
merits provided that the harm factors militate in its favor.
Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 778 (1987). In deciding
whether to grant a stay, pending appeal, this court "as-
sesses the movant's chances of success on the merits and
weighs the equities as they affect the parties and the
public." E. 1. du Pont de Nemours & Co. v. Phillips Petro-
leum Co., 835 F.2d 277, 278 (Fed. Cir. 1987). See also
Standard Havens Prods. v. Gencor Indus., 897 F.2d 511(Fed. Cir. 1990).
Based on the arguments in the motions papers, and
without prejudicing the ultimate disposition of this case
by a merits panel, we determine that Fujian has not met
its burden to obtain a stay of the injunction.
Accordingly,
IT Is ORDERED THAT:
The motion is denied.
