eBay v. MercExchange is a case decided in 2006 by the US Supreme Court.
Public Patent Foundation summarised this ruling thusly:
[T]he Supreme Court agreed with PUBPAT and unanimously reversed the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's previous habit of automatically granting injunctions in patent infringement cases. Instead, the Supreme Court held that ... [o]ne of the four factors to be considered by a court before granting a permanent injunction in the future is the impact any such injunction will have on the general public.
