Get the most recent insight from Zacks Equity Research with the free Profit fromthe Pros newsletter: are highlights from Wednesday`sAnalyst Blog: NVIDIA Wins Patent WarOn July 14, 2009, California-based integrated graphics chip maker, NVIDIACorporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) said that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office(USPTO) has rejected the eight claims covering two patent infringement suitsfiled against it in litigation by semiconductor technology licensing companyRambus Inc (Nasdaq: RMBS).
This follows the rejection of 41 other claims inseven patents that Rambus had asserted against NVIDIA in June 2009 NVIDIA has won almost all of its patent claims at the USPTO. The latest wasfiled by Rambus at the International Trade Commission (ITC) in November,alleging NVIDIA of the violation of patents on graphics processors and otherrelated chips. Nvidia`s representative said that although USPTO has rejectedRambus claims a trial is still left by ITC which will be taken in August 2009with final determination in 2010. This ruling in favor of NVIDIA will definitely have a positive impact on itssentiments. While NVIDIA is delighted that the USPTO has rejected all of thepatent claims asserted by Rambus against NVIDIA, Rambus underemphasized theimportance of the ruling saying that it is part of a long process and could takeyears to resolve in the courts. The dispute began when Rambus filed a patent infringement suit in the U.S.District Court for the Northern District of California in June 2008. Rambus hadalleged that NVIDIA products such as chipsets, graphics processors, mediacommunication processors and multimedia applications processors infringe upon 17Rambus patents.
Rambus seeks injunctive relief, contributory infringement aswell as claim for monetary damages. Also, Rambus had eliminated some of its patent infringement claims with the ITCagainst NVIDIA last month. Rambus is of the opinion that the claims were droppedto simplify the investigation process by ITC. NVIDIA is also involved in a dispute with Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) for abreach of licensing contract filed in the State of Delaware. The action seeks toterminate Intel's license access to NVIDIA's patent portfolio including its 3-Dgraphics processing unit (GPU) and other computing patents.
