Cypress Expands Its Patent Infringement Complaint vs. GSI Technology Inc. To Include Synchronous, ZBT & Proprietary SRAM Prod...

Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY) today reported that as a
result of the discovery phase of its litigation with GSI, the
accused products list was expanded in the ongoing ITC action to
include GSI’s standard Synchronous and ZBT SRAMs. In addition, in a
filing with the International Trade Commission (ITC) on Nov 21,
2011, a proprietary product made by GSI for its largest customer
was also added to the suit. The new additions to the ITC action
were added to the original complaint filed with the ITC in June
2011, which also alleges infringement by GSI’s SigmaQuad-II™,
SigmaQuad-III™ and SigmaDDR™ SRAM families of four Cypress SRAM
patents. The Cypress complaint seeks an exclusion order from the
ITC that would prevent the importation of all infringing GSI
SRAMs.
In recent weeks, Cypress has released from its ITC action
several companies originally named as importers of GSI memory
products incorporated into their products. These companies have
agreed to terms acceptable to Cypress with respect to ending the
importation of the products named in the ITC.
“We continue to seek an immediate end to the importation of GSI
products that infringe on Cypress’s intellectual property,” said
Dana Nazarian, Executive Vice President of Cypress’s Memory
Products Division. “The ITC trial is on schedule for March, and we
expect to prevail.”
