[SI-LIST] Re: Sanmina patent on dielectric thicknesses under 4 mils

Simply, one can invalidate a patent if you can
demonstrate that "prior art" existed. The only problem
with that is that the burden of proof falls on you.
Have your legal team examine the patent and the prior
art and then with their approval you can "infringe".
If the patent holder sues, you can reply with the
prior art. Then it becomes a problem for the patent
holder to prove the diferences from teh prior art.
This happens all the time.
