I think that this is it shouldn't have a PRELIMINARY injuction before the main trial has taken place. The harm is not sufficient to stop sales now although I don't think it prevents an injunction if the patent is determined infringed in the trial.

I think to get a preliminary injunction you need to show that:

1) you are likely to win the trial and get and injunction.

2) you are being irreparably damaged until the trial. (Financial damages can't put it right later.)

This judgement was mainly about (2) with an additional comment related to (1) on the claim construction.

It does not mean that you can infringe patents as long as that is not shown to be why people buy your products.
