The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

After considering the submissions and arguments of counsel, the Court issues the following order to resolve the inequitable conduct and permanent injunction issues. I. Background Plaintiff O2 Micro International Ltd. (“O2 Micro”) accused the defendants of infringing U.S. Patent Nos. 6,259,615 (“the ‘615 patent”); 6,396,722 (“the ‘722 patent”); and 6,804,129 (“the ‘129 patent”). A jury found that the defendants willfully induced and/or contributed to the infringement of all three patents.
