New York, Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Fujitsu Ltd. were accused in a federal lawsuit of stealing memory chip technology from Saifun Semiconductors Ltd.
Saifun says it disclosed ``revolutionary'' memory chip technology to Advanced Micro Devices and Fujitsu after the companies agreed to keep the information secret. At the time, Advanced Micro Devices, the No. 2 maker of semiconductor chips, was weighing whether to license the technology, the suit says.
The defendants used the technology to develop their own memory chip products, Israel-based Saifun claims in a complaint filed today in New York. Saifun now seeks an order blocking Advanced Micro Devices and Fujitsu from infringing its patent.
``AMD wrongfully incorporated information provided to it by Saifun in confidence into patent applications in the United States and other countries,'' the lawsuit claims.
Advanced Micro spokesman John Greenagel said the company hadn't seen the suit and didn't have an immediate comment.
Shares in Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices rose 13 cents, to $13.70.
