anand sb liveanandtech.com also aurl lawsuit update Calif., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Aureal Semiconductor Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AURL) today announced updated information regarding the litigation between itself and Creative Technology Ltd., a Singapore corporation ("Creative") and its subsidiary, E-MU Systems, Inc., a California corporation ("E-MU"). Initially, Creative and E-MU filed suit in February alleging that Aureal's Vortex AU8820 Digital Audio Processor infringes upon a patent which describes a specific implementation for an electronic musical instrument designed by E-MU. Recently, Aureal filed a motion for summary judgment of the Creative/E-MU suit which is scheduled to be heard by the court on September 18, 1998. In response to this action, Creative/E-MU has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction with respect to the Vortex AU8820 chip and Aureal's new Vortex 2 AU8830 chip. Aureal continues to believe this suit is without merit and intended to slow down Aureal's mission of bringing innovative audio technology to the marketplace.
