Protecting System General’s product line

Finnegan represented System General as a respondent in an investigation involving power supply controllers found in many modern electronic devices. Complainant Power Integrations asserted infringement of four patents against System General’s entire product line. But the patent that threatened all of System General’s products was withdrawn when we found invalidating prior art, and another patent was withdrawn before trial. Although Power Integrations prevailed on two patents, we secured an exemption from the Commission’s exclusion order for System General’s newly designed product line, allowing the company to continue its business plan.
