    Bridgeport Fittings, Inc. moves for a stay, pending
    disposition of this appea1, of the permanent injunction
    entered by the United States District Court for the Middle
    ARLINGTON INDUSTRIES V. BRIDGEPORT 2
    District of Pennsylvania. Arlington Industries, Inc.
    opposes Bridgeport 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.
    Hilt0n v. Brau.n.skill, 481 U.S. 77O, 778 (1987). ln 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'. I. du Pont de Nem0urs & Co. u. Phillips Petro-
    learn Co., 
    835 F.2d 277
    , 278 (Fed. Cir. 1987). See also
    Standard Havens Prods. v. Genc0r Indus., 897 F.2d -511
    (Fed. Cir. 199O).
    Based on the arguments in the motions papers and
    without prejudicing the ultimate disposition of this case
    by a merits panel, we determine that Bridgeport has not
    met its burden to obtain a stay of the injunction.
    Acc0rdingly,
    IT ls ORDERE:o THAT:
    The motion is denied.
