ORDER

1
On October 11, 1985, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts granted Polaroid Corporation's request for injunctive relief and denied Eastman Kodak Company's (Kodak's) motion for a stay pending appeal.  641 F.Supp. 828, 228 USPQ 305, 342-44 (D.Mass.1985).  The injunction was to take effect on January 9, 1986.


2
On November 4, 1985, Kodak filed in this court a motion under Rule 8(a), Fed.R.App.P., seeking a stay of the injunction pending appeal.  After both parties filed briefs, this court ordered, on December 2, 1985, that the motion be heard and decided by the merits panel.


3
On January 6, 1986, Kodak filed an emergency motion in this court seeking a stay of the same injunction pending a decision on its November 4, 1985 motion.


4
Having fully considered all of the submissions and having carefully reviewed the well-considered reasons set forth in the district court's Memorandum, 641 F.Supp. 828, 228 USPQ at 342-44, this court finds no adequate basis for reaching a conclusion different from that of the district court with respect to the requested stay of the injunction.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED THAT:

5
(1) The motion for stay filed under Rule 8(a) is denied.


6
(2) The emergency motion for stay is denied as moot.
