A U.S. appeals court has sided with Intel, vacating a roughly
$2.2 billion patent-infringement verdict won by VLSI Technology,
which argues that some technology in Intel's microprocessors
infringe on VLSI's patents.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a
jury's verdict that Intel infringed on one of VLSI's patents and
reversed the verdict that Intel infringed on another of the
company's patents. The Federal Circuit sent the case back for
further proceedings to determine how much Intel owes in
damages.
Representatives for VLSI Technology didn't immediately respond
to a request for comment.
An Intel spokesperson said the company is pleased with the
appeals court's decision. "Intel looks forward to making its case
to a jury that the VLSI patent sent back to the trial court is also
of little value," they said.
The latest ruling vacates the roughly $2.2 billion awarded to
VLSI by a jury in 2021. The jury awarded $1.5 billion in damages
for the infringement of one patent, and $675 million for the
infringement of another.
The Federal Circuit reversed the verdict that Intel infringed on
the patent that was behind the $675 million in damages, and vacated
the ruling of $1.5 billion in damages due to issues with the
analysis that supported the number.
