“Mentor Graphics’ behavior is predictable,” said Luc Burgun, president and chief executive officer of EVE. “In 2006, Mentor Graphics tried to use the legal system to stifle competition when it was struggling to deliver Veloce and had concerns about EVE accelerating deployment through a line of successful products. This is yet another groundless litigation and we will vigorously defend ourselves.”
