Intel has been ordered to pay $2.18 billion to VLSI Technology, after a federal jury found the major chip producer had infringed on a pair of patents.
The jury in the Western District of Texas delivered the verdict on Tuesday, declaring Intel had infringed on both of the patents under scrutiny. The decision requires Intel to pay $1.5 billion for one of the patents, and $675 million for the other.The figure is at the top end of the scale VLSI apparently sought. While not mentioned in court filings by the lawyers, sources of Waco Tribute Herald say the range VLSI wanted was between $750 million and $2.2 billion.
