Astronics Corp. v. Patecell

Theodore C. Patecell and The Patecell Corporation (collectively Patecell) appeal from the final order of the United States
District Court for the Western District of New York, No. CIV-85-1226E (July 24, 1987), denying its motion for a preliminary
injunction to prohibit Rodgard Corporation from making, using, or selling flat tire inserts that allegedly infringe Patecell's
United States Patent No. RE. 28,196 and from engaging in alleged acts of unfair competition. We agree that the district court's
analysis contains legal error but affirm on other grounds.
