ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
SCHILTZ, District Judge.
Defendant Kor Hockey, Ltd. (“Kor”), a maker of hockey skates and related equipment, owns U.S. Design Patent D514, 505 (the '505 patent), which covers an ornamental design for the base of a skate. Plaintiff Torspo Hockey International, Inc. (“Torspo”) is a competing hockey-skate maker. Torspo, apprehensive that Kor would sue it for infringing the '505 patent (among others), brought this declaratory-judgment action. 1 Torspo seeks a judgment that it is not infringing the '505 patent and that the '505 patent is invalid.
