“The ITC’s confirmation of the earlier ruling changes nothing,” said Dana Nazarian, Executive Vice President of the Memory Products Division at Cypress. “We remain steadfast in our conviction that GSI has violated our patents, and look forward to moving this fight to the district court where we can argue our case to a jury.”
Cypress intends to vigorously pursue its two pending district court lawsuits against GSI, which include three of the patents asserted in the ITC investigation and seven additional patents. Those cases are No. 11-cv-00789, filed March 30, 2011, before Judge Patrick J. Schiltz in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, and No. 13-cv-02013, filed May 1, 2013, before Judge Jon. S. Tigar in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Cypress has asserted that GSI’s SigmaQuad-II, SigmaQuad-III™, SigmaDDR, standard Synchronous, and NBT SRAMs infringe multiple Cypress patents.
