MOSAID Technologies last week announced the settlement of its patent litigations with Infineon Technologies AG, and revealed that both Infineon and its memory products spin-off, Qimonda AG, have licensed the MOSAID patent portfolio.
MOSAID and Infineon have been involved in two litigations: the first in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, which has been under appeal; and the second in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Under the settlement terms, Infineon and Qimonda will each receive a six-year license to the entire MOSAID patent portfolio. In addition, Infineon and Qimonda will receive a 'lives of the patents' license to the MOSAID patent families in dispute. Payments will be spread over the six-year term of the licenses.
MOSAID has also purchased 50 patents from Infineon and Qimonda, ranked as one of the world's largest DRAM companies. The portfolio includes patents related to a range of technologies including DRAM memory, power management ICs, semiconductor process technology and digital radio applications. Payments by MOSAID for these patents will be spread over six years.
MOSAID and Infineon have also agreed to file a joint motion requesting the Court in California to vacate the Summary Judgment Order issued on April 1st, 2005.
