Re: Power Integrations, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., et al.,
C.A. No. 04-1371-JJF
Dear Judge Farnan:
On November 30, 2006, the Court issued a Memorandum Order (D.I. 446) scheduling the
invalidity trial in this matter to begin on May 7, 2006. Unfortunately, three of the attorneys
representing Fairchild already have trials scheduled to begin that same day. F airchild’s lead
attorney, Hopkins Guy, is schedule to begin trial in the Eastern District of Texas representing
Intel Corporation in Biax Corp. v. Intel Corp., 2-05CV-184 (TJW). That trial is scheduled to last
one to two weeks. Bill Anthony and Bas de Blank are scheduled to begin trial in the Northern
District of California representing Tandberg in Collaboration Properties, Inc. v. Tandberg ASA
and T andberg Inc., C 05-01940 MHP. That trial is scheduled to last two weeks.
Therefore, Fairchild respectfully requests that the Court reschedule the invalidity trial to a
date at which all parties’ counsel can attend. Fairchild’s attorneys have no significant conflicts
after the completion of the Intel and Tandberg trials. If it would be convenient for the Court,
Fairchild proposes June 4, 2007 as an alternative date.
Respectfully,
John G. Day
