OPTi Inc (OTCBB:OPTI) today announced that it had received a trial schedule from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD") for infringement of a U.S. patent. Jury selection for the trial will begin the first week of February 2010 with the trial to begin later that month.
The suit was filed against AMD in November 2006 for infringement of a U.S. patent. The patent at issue in the lawsuit is U.S. Patent No. 6,405,291 entitled "Predictive Snooping of Cache Memory for Master-Initiated Accesses". The complaint alleges that AMD infringes the patent by making, selling, and offering for sale CPUs and core logic products based on and incorporating Predictive Snooping technology and inducing and contributing to the infringement of the patents by others. OPTi has requested a jury trial in this matter. The Company in its case against AMD is seeking an injunction and damages or other monetary relief, including pre-judgment interest and awarding OPTi's attorney fees.
The lawsuit against AMD is a continuing part of the Company's strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims relating to its Predictive Snooping technology.
