Following up an earlier decision to grant a permanent injunction (
here), Judge Katherine B. Forrest, in a
May 21, 2014 ruling, denied the defendant's motion for a stay of the injunction pending appeal. The Court wrote:
ABN's position is premised on the erroneous assumption that the Court should or intended to provide the time it viewed as necessary to complete an ordinary transition [from the infringing software]. That was not the Court's intent. How and what ABN chooses to do during the transition period is up to ABN -- the Court's view is that the one year period [before the effective date of the injunction] provides sufficient and reasonable time for ABN to "get off" BankTrade. Whether ABN starts a transition to using another system or outsources its trade finance business entirely is up to ABN. The Court does not have a view as to what business decisions ABN will make over the next year. It has but one requirement: ABN shall stop using BankTrade by the expiration of that period.
