Lochner Technologies LLC
Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc.
The Central District of California entered judgment invalidating all claims that Lochner Technologies—a non-practicing entity—had asserted against Finnegan client Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. On summary judgment and before the parties engaged in costly discovery, the judge found the claims invalid for lacking a sufficient written description and for failing to claim what the inventors regarded as their invention. The court previously issued a favorable claim construction ruling that eliminated most accused products from the case. The invalidity ruling disposed of the remaining issues. Initially, Lochner had asserted its patent against twenty-two defendants. Most settled, but Toshiba and Vizio, Inc. fought until the invalidity ruling brought the district court case to a close.
