Tessera Technologies Provides Update on Legal Actions

The following is excerpted from a November 2, 2009 Business Wire item found at Trading Markets:

On Oct. 30, 2009, the International Trade Commission (ITC) announced that it will review portions of the Initial Determination by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in the ITC action brought by Tessera against certain DRAM manufacturers and sellers. The Commission will review, among other things, whether the respondents infringed the Tessera patents asserted in the action. The Commission's Final Determination is scheduled to be issued by Dec. 29, 2009. The action is Investigation No. 337-TA-630 (DRAM ITC action).

The DRAM ITC action originated in December, 2007, when Tessera took legal action against Acer, Inc., Centon Electronics, Inc., Elpida Memory, Inc., Kingston Technology Co., Inc., Nanya Technology Corporation, Powerchip Semiconductor Corp., ProMOS Technologies Inc., Ramaxel Technology Ltd., Smart Modular Technologies, Inc., and TwinMOS Technologies, Inc. alleging patent infringement.
