O2 Micro International Limited v. Rohm Co., LTD., et al - trial begins

By Michael Smith

Trial begins today in the O2 Micro International Limited v. Rohm Co., LTD., et al case, 2:05-cv-211 in Judge Everingham's court in Marshall, and is set to end no later than Feb. 28.   At the Pre-Trial Management Conference, the parties agreed that Defendant Rohm's antitrust counterclaims would be bifurcated from the patent trial in this case. In addition, the Court held that the issue of inequitable conduct will not be addressed during the patent trial.  Issues for the jury appear at this point to be infringement, willfulness, and invalidity.
