Appeals Court Ruling Favors Boxborough's SynQor
A U.S. Court of Appeals has upheld a Texas District Court's $95-million ruling that favored Boxborough-based SynQor in a 2010 patent infringement case.
According to SynQor, the Washington, D.C., appeals court unanimously ruled in its favor over Artesyn Technologies Inc.
SynQor President and CEO Martin F. Schlecht called it "a complete and total victory" for the company.
"We hope that the defendants in this case, their customers and any other suppliers to those customers take note and respect our patents going forward," he said.
The case involved the appeal of SynQor's win against industry suppliers of unregulated and semi-regulated bus converters used in intermediate bus architecture applications. The verdict includs awards relating to lost profits and damages and upholds the permanent injunction that had been in place since September 2011.
"Unregulated and semi-regulated intermediate bus architecture is of tremendous value to the telecom and datacom industries and we are excited about the prospect of being the only company in the world with the ability to legally supply OEM's and other customers with their U.S. requirements for such products," Schlecht said.
SynQor has other ongoing litigation regarding the same patents against Cisco Systems and Vicor Corp. and has various other lawsuits pending against other firms, claiming damages and asking for sanctions.
