United States Federal Circuit
Monolithic Power Sys., Inc. v. O2 Micro Int'l Ltd., 08-1128
In a patent dispute concerning power inverter circuitry for laptop computers, judgment in favor of plaintiff is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in appointing an expert under the Federal Rules as it was confronted by an unusually complex case and starkly conflicting expert testimony; and 2) there was no error in the district court's denial of defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law on obviousness as there was substantial evidence to support the jury's finding.
