Power Intergrations, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc., et al., C.A. No. 08-309-LPS, January 13, 2015.

Stark, C.J. Defendants’ request to enter final judgment is granted; Plaintiff’s motion to set aside verdicts of infringement and validity is denied. Defendant’s request to sanction is denied.

Following a 10-day jury trial in April 2012, the court ruled on the parties’ 13 post-trial motions on March 29, 2013. The court now rejects plaintiff’s request pursuant to Rule 60 filed in November, 2014 as untimely.  The court was not persuaded that defendant in a related case and in an ongoing reexam proceeding is presenting evidence contradictory to what was presented to the jury resulting in the verdict in this case. No exceptional circumstances exist to warrant changing the jury verdict.  Sanctions against plaintiff for bringing the motion are not warranted under the totality of circumstances.

DISCLAIMER: Because of the generality of this update, the information provided herein may not be applicable in all situations and should not be acted upon without specific legal advice based on particular situations.
