India readies laws to protect IC designs
India's Parliament is preparing to take up intellectual-property (IP) legislation that would protect rights related to IC layout and design.

TI loses bid to block ITC patent violation investigation
A Los Angeles Federal District Court Judge has denied a motion by Texas Instruments Inc. seeking to block a U.S. International Trade Commission investigation into alleged patent violations (see May 2 story). The investigation was launched last week, following a complaint filed by Tessera Inc., San Jose, charging TI with infringing patents protecting micro-BGA chip-scale packaging technology (see April 28 story ). Tessera has also named Sharp Corp. as a defendant in the suit and is asking the ITC to bar the companies from importing semiconductors using the proprietary packaging technology into the United States. ITC agrees to investigate Rambus' patent claims against Hitachi, Sega
The International Trade Commission as expected Wednesday agreed to investigate a complaint filed by Rambus Inc. against Hitachi Ltd. and Sega Enterprises Ltd., in which it alleges the companies have violated Rambus patents protecting synchronous memory and high-performance bus interfaces. The ITC has appointed Debra Morriss an administrative law judge to make a preliminary decision as to whether any Rambus patents have been infringed. If Morriss' findings reveal possible patent infringement, then the full commission will issue a final determination in a process that usually takes about a year. Trident, Via agree to end legal suits
Via Technologies Inc. and Trident Microsystems Inc. today announced the end of a legal battle over patents and a troubled partnership in chip-set designs for personal computers. Under the settlement, pending lawsuits will be dismissed and Trident will receive $10.2 million from Via Technologies, Hsinchu, Taiwan, for a desktop software driver licensing fee.
