From The Am Law Litigation Daily
Joshua Raskin, a partner at Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann, told ABC News back in 2008 that in his entire career he’d “never seen a more clear-cut case of patent infringement” than what Nikon Corp. allegedly did to his client, University of Illinois professor Kanti Jain. Manhattan federal district court judge Alvin Hellerstein clearly doesn’t agree. In a brief order issued on Tuesday April 3, Judge Hellerstein invalidated patents relating to LCD technology that Jain’s company, Anvik Corp., has been asserting against Nikon for close to seven years. Siding with Nikon’s lawyers at Morrison & Foerster, Hellerstein ruled that Jain undermined his own case during a deposition.
