    In deciding whether to grant a stay or injunction
    pending appeal, this court "assesses [the] movant's
    chances for success on appeal and weighs the equities as
    they affect the parties and the public." E.!. Dupont de
    Nemours & Co. v. Phillips Petroleum Co., 
    835 F.2d 277
    ,
    278 (Fed. Cir. 1987); see also Standard Havens Prods. v.
    Gencor Indus., 
    897 F.2d 511
     (Fed. Cir. 1990). To prevail,
    a movant must establish a strong likelihood of success on
    the merits or, failing that, must demonstrate that it has a
    substantial case on the merits and that the harm factors
    militate in its favor. Hilton v. Braunskill, 
    481 U.S. 770
    ,
    778 (1987).
    Upon consideration thereof,
    IT Is ORDERED THAT:
    The motions are granted.
