Mosel Vitelic Files Patent Lawsuit Against Micron Technology
Wilmington, Delaware, Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Mosel Vitelic
Inc. of Taiwan, the world's 14th-largest maker of random-access
memory chips, filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Micron
Technology Inc., the fourth-largest chipmaker, which sued Mosel
Vitaleic last month.
The suit in U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Delaware,
accuses Micron of infringing on Mosel Vitelic patents for memory
circuits. Mosel Vitelic is seeking unspecified damages and an
injunction preventing Micron's use of the patents.
The Delaware lawsuit follows Micron's filing of two patent
lawsuits July 21 in Boise, Idaho, accusing Mosel Vitelic of
infringing on Micron's patents for dynamic RAM, a form of memory
widely used in personal computers.
''We believe this is in reaction to the suits we filed in
July,'' said Micron spokeswoman Julie Nash. ''We did considerable
research on their patent portfolio, and we do not believe we are
infringing their patents.''
Micron is based in Boise. Mosel's American unit is based in
San Jose, California. |
