Defended Cypress in lawsuit brought by EMI asserting infringement of two patents relating to the use of laser-fuse technology in integrated circuits. Won a unanimous jury verdict that Cypress had not infringed any of the asserted claims and that all the asserted claims were invalid for impossibility, anticipation and obviousness. The Federal Circuit affirmed that the patents were invalid, which rendered infringement moot. 68 F. Supp. 2d 421 (D. Del. 1999); 104 F. Supp. 2d 370 (D. Del. 2000), aff'd, 268 F.3d 1342 (Fed. Cir. 2001)
