@ 2010/01/25GRAPHICS CHIP DESIGNER Nvidia is facing a US import ban on some of its chips after the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that it nicked some Rambus technology.
In October of last year, Rambus lost a case against Nvidia and the US Patent Office said the former's claims that Nvidia had infringed its patents were groundless. However the ITC has announced that out of five patents, Nvidia did violate three of them.
If the ban goes ahead then HP, MSI, Gigabyte, Asus and other manufacturers' products that contain Nvidia chips could be refused entry by US customs.
