Vicor Loses Appeal Of $25M Verdict In SynQor Patent Fight

By Editorial Team

The Federal Circuit on Friday shot down electronics company Vicor’s challenge to rival SynQor’s $25 million award in a patent infringement suit over power converter technology, backing both the initial jury’s findings and the lower court’s later decision to boost the damages.

Vicor Corporation filed an appeal against SynQor after a jury initially awarded SynQor $25 million in damages for patent infringement related to power converter technology. The Federal Circuit upheld the jury’s decision, affirming the lower court’s ruling to increase the damages.

The case involved a patent dispute over high-efficiency power converter technology. The patent in question was U.S. Patent No. 7,564,702.

Law firms involved in the case included Leach & Walker, Quinn Emanuel, and Sidley Austin. Companies mentioned in the case were Cisco Systems Inc., Vicor Corp, and Vicor Corporation. The Government Agency overseeing the case was the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

This decision by the Federal Circuit marks a significant legal victory for SynQor in the ongoing patent battle with Vicor Corporation.
