1Opinion of the Court
FLAUM, Circuit Judge.
Abbott Laboratories (Abbott) filed this interlocutory appeal, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), after the district court denied its motion for a preliminary injunction against Mead Johnson & Company (Mead). Abbott seeks relief under § 48(a) of the Lanham Act (the Act), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), to halt Mead’s alleged false advertising and trade dress infringement practices in the oral electrolyte maintenance solution (OES) market. We vacate the district court’s denial of preliminary relief, and remand with directions to promptly commence a full trial on the merits.
