BISSELL, Circuit Judge.
Datascope appeals from that portion of a district court order, reported at 611 F.Supp. 889, 227 USPQ 320 (D.Mass.1985), which denied a preliminary injunction with respect to the dual lumen catheters of Kontron. We affirm.
BACKGROUND
The patent in suit is U.S. Patent No. 4,261,339, relating to an intra-aortic balloon (IAB) catheter. The invention was described by this court in Datascope Corp. v. SMEC, Inc., 776 F.2d 320, 227 USPQ 838 (Fed.Cir.1985). In that case, the validity of the ’339 patent was upheld and infringement by the device of SMEC was affirmed.
