Intel told to pay $2.18 billion to VLSI

Chipzilla lacked appeal

Intel’s request to overturn an order requiring it to write a $2.18 billion cheque to VLSI Technology has been rejected by a US judge.

US District Judge Alan Albright in Waco, Texas has denied the company's motion for a new trial in a recent sealed order.

VLSI was awarded $1.5 billion and $675 million for two patents that Intel had infringed on. The first patent, US7725759B2, deals with managing clock speed in an electronic device and was originally developed by SigmaTel while the second patent, US7523373B2, which describes a minimum memory operating voltage technique was originally developed by Freescale.

Chipzilla said it was disappointed with the decision and that it will appeal it. However, it called for reforms of the patent laws to stop “litigation investors” from using low-quality patents to extract “exorbitant” damages from itself and other large companies.
