ITC Exclusion Order on Standard-Essential Patents Enjoined: N.D. Cal. | Practical Law
In Realtek Semiconductor Corp. v. LSI Corp., the US District Court for the Northern District of California granted a preliminary injunction barring the defendants from enforcing any exclusion order or injunctive relief obtained from the International Trade Commission (ITC) with respect to their standard-essential wireless patents, pending a full determination of the defendants' RAND obligations. The decision is the first of its kind by a federal court.
