Nvidia Says Patent Settlement With Rambus Unlikely After Loss

By

Nvidia Corp., a maker of graphics chips that help run video games, said it wont negotiate with Rambus Inc. after losing a U.S. trade agency decision that it violated three Rambus-owned patents. Nvidia has several options to prevent any order banning imports, he said. If the commission sides with Rambus, Nvidia can appeal to a court that specializes in patent law. Nvidia is receiving no pressure from customers to settle the case, Shannon said.

Rambus and Nvidia talked for eight years before they sued us, David Shannon, Nvidias general counsel, said in an interview yesterday in Washington. I dont think its realistic to think that theres going to be an agreement anytime soon between the two companies.
