OpenSky Appeals $413,000 Attorney Fee Award, Alleges Fabricated VLSI Evidence

OpenSky Industries LLC has reached out to the director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with a request to revisit the decision requiring OpenSky to pay $413,000 in attorney fees to VLSI Technology. The request surfaced from a recently declassified filing which demonstrated OpenSky’s argument that the director failed to substantiate the award, and further permitted use of documents that were, according to OpenSky, “fabricated” by VLSI Technology.
