U.S. District Court Rules in Favor of Mykrolis in Patent Dispute
With Pall Corporation Court orders preliminary injunction against
Pall BILLERICA, Mass., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mykrolis
Corporation announced today that the United States District Court
for the District of Massachusetts has ordered Pall Corporation to
stop selling its PhotoKleen EZD-2 Filter Assembly products to its
customers. Pall's PhotoKleen EZD-2 Filter Assembly products are the
subject of a Mykrolis law suit charging Pall with infringement of
two U.S. patents owned by Mykrolis. The patents cover the
technology used in semiconductor manufacturing for point-of-use
photochemical dispense and filtration of photoresists and solvents.
After a hearing on Mykrolis's request for a preliminary injunction,
the Court ruled in favor of Mykrolis and ordered Pall to
immediately stop making, using, selling, or offering to sell within
the US, or importing into the U.S., its PhotoKleen EZD-2 Filter
Assembly products or "any colorable imitation" of those products.
The Court concluded that Mykrolis had "made a 'clear showing' of
its likely success on the merits on both validity and infringement"
and, as a result, was entitled to the preliminary injunction. C.
William Zadel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We
are extremely gratified by the Court's decision. Investing in
research and development to develop innovative technologies that
enable our customers' processes is the cornerstone of our strategy,
and the Court's decision allows for clear protection of our
intellectual property." The full text of the court ruling can be
