ITC Finds for Tessera in Patent Case

Published: 21 May 2009

SAN JOSE -- In a final determination, the International Trade Commission has found for Tessera Technologies in its patent infringement claim against certain wireless manufacturers.

Investigation No. 337-TA-605 (Wireless ITC action) finds that Tessera’s asserted patents are valid and infringed. The ITC issued a Limited Exclusion Order that prohibits the importation of certain infringing electronic devices that use Tessera’s patented technology, imported by or on behalf of the named respondents. The Commission also issued a cease and desist order against Motorola, Qualcomm, Freescale and Spansion, directing them to cease selling infringing articles out of their US inventories.

Respondents in the Wireless ITC action also included ATI Technologies and ST Microelectronics. 

“This is a powerful victory for Tessera and the rights of patent holders everywhere,” said Henry R. Nothhaft, president and CEO of Tessera, in a statement. “The ITC’s decision establishes that the patents in this case are valid and enforceable, and sends a positive message to other innovators that depend on their patent rights to protect their inventions against would-be infringers.”

The patents in question are U.S. Patent No. 6,433,419 (‘419) and U.S. Patent No. 5,852,326 (‘326).
