U.S. Ethernet Innovations, LLC v. Texas Instruments , 6:11cv491 (9/18/14)
Judge: Michael Schneider
Holding: Equitable Defense of Laches Rejected
Following the trial in this case, the court conducted a separate evidentiary hearing on laches, at which it heard the live testimony of five witnesses, and accepted deposition designations, prior trial testimony, and exhibits for consideration as well.
After reviewing the underlying facts, Judge Schneider began by concluding that TI had not fully disclosed its position on laches during the discovery. Nonetheless, he determined that even if the court considered the undisclosed evidence, it would reject the defense anyway because TI could not prove material prejudice, and the doctrine of unclean hands prevented it from benefiting from an inequitable remedy.
