VLT, Inc. v. Power-One, Inc.

Robert Michael Asher

Case Conclusion Date: January 3, 2003

Practice Area: Patent Infringement

Outcome: Non-infringement judgment

Description: Patent infringement regarding a power converter circuit. The claim term "prior" was interpreted to require a useful delay in view of specification and judicial estoppel arguments. Early in case, Plaintiff was stripped of ability to pursue lost profits and infringement against several converter models. Claim construction earned stipulation of non-infringement and judgment was affirmed on appeal for our client.
