Appellant SSI Technologies, LLC, (“SSI”) brought this action against appellee Dongguan Zhengyang Electronic Mechanical LTD (“DZEM”), alleging that DZEM infringes two of SSI’s patents. DZEM asserted counterclaims for in- validity of the asserted patents and for tortious interfer- ence with prospective business relations. The district court granted summary judgment to DZEM on the infringement claims and dismissed DZEM’s invalidity countercla ims. The court also granted summary judgment to SSI on the tortious interference counterclaim.
