Rambus launches a new round of lawsuits against Hynix, Infineon, Inotera and Nanya
Rambus said it filed a patent infringement suit agaist Hynix, Infineon, Inotera and Nanya claiming the companies infringed its patents relating to DDR2 and GDDRx memory technologies.
"With analyst firms projecting a rapid transition this year from DDR to DDR2 and GDDR, and with strong evidence of infringement of our patents already in the public record, we have taken this step today, filing our first new patent case in the U.S. since August 2000," said John Danforth, senior vice president and general counsel at Rambus.
Rambus said the DRAM manufacturers infringe up to 18 of its patents with DDR2, GDDR2 and GDDR3 devices that are currently shipping in the marketplace.
Hynix, Infineon, Inotera and Nanya did not comment on the lawsuit filed. (THG)
