DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
OF INVALIDITY OF CLAIM 1 OF THE ‘876 PATENT
Defendants Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. and Fairchild Semiconductor
Corporation (collectively, "Fairchild") respectfully move for an Order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
56 declaring that Claim l of U.S. Patent No. 6,249,876 (the "‘876 patent") is invalid by reason of
anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § l02(b). Fairchild has come forward with three prior art
references, each of which on its own expressly discloses each and every element of Claim l of
the ‘87 6 patent. The existence and content of this prior art are not in dispute. There is no
genuine issue as to any fact material to the validity of Claim 1 of the ‘876 patent and Fairchild is
entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
This motion is based upon the opening brief and declaration in support of this motion, the
supporting evidence attached thereto, all pleadings and papers on file in this action, and any
other evidence the Court deems proper and just.
