Summary
PSC brought a declaratory-judgment/antitrust action against Symbol; Data General was a consolidated defendant. The court held on October 22, 1998 that Symbol's collection of royalties from PSC and Telxon for the same product/use rendered the '297 and '186 patents unenforceable for misuse until purged; the parties had settled patent validity and infringement issues.
