Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq:CY) today announced that
Avago Technologies, Inc. has dropped its lawsuit against Cypress.
The lawsuit (case number 1:11-cv-00071-SLR), filed in U.S. District
Court in Delaware, had claimed that Cypress’s OvationONS® products
infringed on Avago optical navigation patents. OvationONS products
enable finger navigation in handheld devices. Cypress paid no
damages and admitted to no infringement in the case.
Cypress uses its own, patented OptiCheck™ technology, which the
company has invested tens of millions of dollars to develop, in the
OvationONS products. OptiCheck is a proprietary, speckle-based
two-dimensional comb array technology.
“We’re pleased to put this matter to rest,” said T.J. Rodgers,
President and CEO of Cypress. “This is a prime example of the
strength of our IP portfolio, and a validation of our efforts to
protect our fast-growing user-interface business. Our continuous
innovation brings differentiated technologies that enable our
customers to produce market-leading products.”
