statesideR2Semiconductor company (R2 Semiconductor) Suing the technology company Intel (Intel) In the case of, The Dusseldorf Regional Court upheld the former's claim. The court held that, Certain Intel central processing units embedded in electronic devices (CPU) Infringed the plaintiff's patent. Parallel lawsuits are under way in Britain and America.

R2Semiconductor companies and Intel are currently locked in a battle over on-chip regulators, This is the latter phone, Features of the notebook and server processor chip portfolio. recent, The Dusseldorf Regional Court issued its verdict, Announced that some of the American multinational company's products violated California-basedR2Patents owned by semiconductor companies.

The outcome of the case could also affect companies that integrate Intel chip processors into their models, For example, Hewlett-Packard (HP) , Dale (Dell) andHPE. All three companies joined Intel as defendants in the case.

Number asEP3376653B1The patents in question relate to overvoltage protection of switching converters in integrated circuit units. R2Semiconductor companies have developed high-frequency semiconductor technology for power management, Such as, EP3376653B1Patent No. 1 relates to voltage regulation technology.

Intel responded to the attack

2022years11month, R2The semiconductor company filed a lawsuit against Intel Germany AG in the Dusseldorf District Court. The company claims, The last three generations of Intel processors (Including Intel's Core and Xeon chips) Fully integrated voltage regulator technology exists in both of them, This violatesEP3376653B1Patent No.

therefore, The plaintiff requested injunctive relief, Disclose and provide accounts, Carry out recall and destruction work. meanwhile, The company is also seeking recognition of liability for damages based on its patents. The Dusseldorf District Court upheld itR2Claims of semiconductor companies, This led to a ban on the sale of some Intel processors in Germany.

2023years5month, Intel filed a counterclaim with Germany's Federal Patent Court. however, in2023years12month, The court issued an opinion, Says his appeal has little chance of success.

Parallel proceedings in England

The processors affected by this case are: CoreCore i3／i5／i7／i9 (Ice Lake) ; Corei3／i5／i7／i9 (Tiger Lake) ; Corei3／i5／i7／i9 (Alder Lake) ; And Xeon is scalable (Ice Lake Server) . besides, The company will also provide a statement, Detail how many affected products it has sold to date. Media reports say, Intel plans to appeal. however, According to the UK "Financial Times" Report of, The case did not affect the company's No13Generation sum14Chip generation.

2022years11month, R2The semiconductor company filed an infringement claim against Intel in the British High Court, I want the court to grant Intel an injunction. therewith, in2022years12month, Intel responded with an invalid counterclaim, And refuted the above infringement claims. The British hearing concerned the same patent, And will2024years4Be held in May.

before, R2Semiconductor companies have tried to make a deal in the United StatesEP3376653B1The patent belongs to the same family of patents and filed a lawsuit against Intel. merely, By report, The trial court eventually rejected the request. (Be compiled fromwww. juve-patent. com)
