Situation
Facing a claim for patent infringement relating to a data compression algorithm in billions of dollars of modern chipsets, our client, a fabless semiconductor company, turned to us for representation. In court, we used an interactive computer demonstration to explain the differences between the patented and accused methods for searching random access computer memory.
Result
The federal district court granted summary judgment of noninfringement, which avoided the expense of full discovery and a trial. We also persuaded the court to award attorneys’ fees in favor of the client.
