Intel also lost a Video processing and networking patent suit to Broadcom..Lupin & Outside Counsel did not seem to have done their homework. Intel Loses $82 Million Patent Case Updated: Monday, December 17, 2001 By: J.E. Girard, Ph.D. A federal jury ruled against chipmaker Intel Corporation in an $82 million patent infringement suit. The suit against rival Broadcom Corporation was originally filed in August 2000 and involved two patents related to networking and video processing. Broadcom maintained that it should not have to pay Intel royalties for using the technology at issue because its customers already have licenses to use the chips. The jurors agreed and found the company had authority to sell the chips because of third-party agreements. They also found that Broadcom did not infringe on one patent for a processor that expands a compressed video signal. In the second decision, the jury found an Intel patent related to networking to be invalid and not infringed on by the other firm. Three additional Intel patent claims also filed last August against Broadcom are expected to go to trial next year. Two patents involve digital video chips and one involves packaging. Broadcom has filed counterclaims alleging unfair business practices and abuse of industry standards by Intel. Intel has not yet decided whether to appeal, spokesman Chuck Mulloy said. Clearly, we're disappointed in the jury's verdict," he said, and added, "We plan to evaluate the verdict before determining our next course of action.
