Tells ITC to let them be
Rambus
has asked the International Trade Commission to stop investigating Nvidia in
regards to four patents.
The outfit said that Nvidia products do not infringe
on its four patents, and also asked for termination of several claims from a
fifth patent in the ITC action. Nvidia is over the moon saying it was
pleased Rambus has recognised the weakness of these patents and
claims.
However they are only a half of the patents and a third of the claims
that Rambus has made against Nvidia so it is too early to break open the
champers yet. The current ITC litigation originally included nine patents
involving memory controllers related to graphics processors.
In June the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had rejected 41 claims, in seven patents in
favour of Nvidia.
