Intel, Cyrix settle patent lawsuit

Semiconductor giant Intel Corp. and Cyrix Corp., a developer of Intel clone microprocessors, said Tuesday they have settled a patent infringement lawsuit that Cyrix (CYRX) filed against Intel (INTC) last year.

Cyrix, which last year was purchased by National Semiconductor Corp., sued Intel in May 1997. Cyrix alleged that Intel infringed on some of Cyrix's patents for certain microprocessor technologies.

National Semiconductor (NSM) already had a broad patent cross-licensing agreement in place with Intel since 1976. Under Tuesday's agreement, Intel and National agreed to extend the terms of that long-standing pact. The settlement also dismisses Cyrix's lawsuit filed against Intel in May.

The agreement between National and Intel had been set to expire in the year 2000, but under the settlement this pact will be extended for an unspecified amount of time.

Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but the companies said there was no financial impact.
