The patent under consideration was purchased from NXP Semiconductors. In a disputed patent, under the US724752B2 number, a method of eliminating problems associated with defects arising as a result of the voltage applied to the connecting sites is described. This technology improves the overall design of the microcircuit.
According to the plaintiff, “millions and millions of violations per second occur in Intel processors.”
VLSI claims that Intel used the technology for many years up to the generation of Cascade Lake, published in 2019. Intel says that she did not use this development at all, and the CPU Skylake and Cascade Lake use the technology of their own intel development technology. Moreover, Intel claims that a patent technology will not work at all in modern CPU.
