Nvidia wins patent infringement suit against Samsung

Nvidia and Samsung’s patent infringement suit has reached an end, with the South Korean tech manufacturer losing the case.

As reported by Fudzilla, a federal jury court in Virginia has come to a decision that Nvidia did not infringe the patents related to graphic cards memory of Samsung. Previously, Samsung has filed for four patent infringement suits but ended up battling only one in court.

Samsung dropped one of the accusations against Nvidia while two others were thrown out when the judge declared a mistrial.

The win of Nvidia comes after the company filed against Samsung and Qualcomm in September 2014 for allegedly infringing on its graphics technology patents. Samsung then filed for a countersuit, claiming that it was Nvidia that was infringing on their memory chips.

Hector Marinez, a rep from Nvidia, released a statement in a report from Bloomberg in light of their legal win.

“We are pleased with the outcome of this case, which reflects the jury’s careful attention to the facts and the law that applied,” he said.

While the trial involved memory chips, the dispute started after 2 years when discussions about licensing failed over graphics processors that are essential in playing games and watching movies on smartphones and tablets.

Nvidia's feud with Samsung is not the only infringement case filed against the company. According to World International Property Review, the International Trade Commission (ITC) said that Nvidia infringed three of the South Korean tech giant's patents. The separate case was filed last December.

Samsung, on the other hand, is not new to losing patent infringement lawsuits. The South Korean tech manufacturer has already lost multiple times against longtime rival, Apple, for stealing their patents on various iPhone features.

Samsung has yet to decide their course of action towards this latest development.
