Nine claims of a SynQor patent for a high efficiency power converter were anticipated by the combination of two prior art references that taught DC-to-DC power converters for pulsed loads, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has ruled (Vicor Corp. v. SynQor, Inc., March 13, 2015, Clevenger, R.). Because the combined references taught a single embodiment that anticipated all of the elements of the broadest representative claim of the SynQor patent, the court reversed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s finding that the asserted claims were not anticipated.
