Summary judgment of invalidity denied in LCD case
Thynge, M.J. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment of invalidity based upon anticipation is denied.
The patents-in-suit are directed to the design and manufacture of LCDs and related products. A claim construction opinion issued October 3, 2007. The Court finds that there is no explanation as to how the prior art relied upon by defendant discloses the element “a nematic liquid crystal molecular layer of positive optical anisotropy.” In addition, questions of fact concerning “uniaxial medium” preclude summary judgment. The motion is therefore denied.
