On June 3, 2009, ALJ Theodore R. Essex issued Order No. 25 in Certain Automotive Multimedia Display and Navigation Systems, Components Thereof, and Products Containing Same (Inv. No. 337-TA-657).  In the Order, ALJ Essex denied three separate motions for summary determination of invalidity filed by certain respondents determining for each that “summary determination is not appropriate” since “every aspect of the motion[s]” was opposed by Complainant Honeywell International, Inc., and “genuine issues of material facts remain.”

In the order, ALJ Essex first denied respondents Denso Corporation, Denso International America, Inc., Alpine Electronics, Inc., Alpine Electronics of America, Inc., Pioneer Corporation, and Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.’s motion for summary determination of invalidity of claims 1-7 and 17 of U.S. Patent No. 6,308,132.

ALJ Essex next denied Pioneer Corporation, Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., Alpine Electronics, Inc., and Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.’s motion for summary determination of invalidity of claim 5 of U.S. Patent No. 5,923,286 for violation of the best mode requirement set forth in 35 U.S.C. § 112.

Lastly, ALJ Essex denied Pioneer Corporation, Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., Alpine Electronics, Inc., and Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.’s motion for summary determination of invalidity of claims 1, 4, 5, 9, 11, 13, and 20 of U.S. Patent No. 6,289,277.
