The latest resolution is with Lattice Semiconductor Corporation who “will become a licensee to segments of IV’s patent portfolio of nearly 40,000 IP assets,” according to an Intellectual Ventures press release. The settlement agreement also states that “IV will file a motion to dismiss all pending litigation against Lattice.” Intellectual Ventures, a non-practicing patent-holding entity, filed the patent infringement complaints in December 2010 in the US District Court of Delaware. The first settlement was reached with Microsemi Corporation in January 2013. “We continue to pursue productive discussions with the other defendants,” Melissa Finocchio, vice president and chief litigation counsel for Intellectual Ventures, said in the press release. “IV has dedicated considerable resources to building a portfolio of semiconductor assets and these settlements reinforce the quality of our patent portfolio.” Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Related "Intellectual Ventures Reaches Another Semiconductor Patent Settlement" by Intellectual Property Watch is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
