Adeia settles semiconductor patent lawsuits against AMD
By Blake Brittain
March 9 (Reuters) - Technology licensing company Adeia ADEA.O settled two patent lawsuits it filed against chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices AMD.O in Texas federal court over semiconductor technology, the companies said on Monday.
Adeia said in a press release that AMD has agreed to take a multi-year license to its semiconductor IP portfolio for an undisclosed amount of money. It asked the Midland, Texas, court to dismiss the cases.
“Resolving our disputes allows both companies to move forward and creates an opportunity for exploring future collaborations on advanced semiconductor technologies," Adeia CEO Paul Davis said in a statement.
Spokespeople for AMD did not immediately respond to a request for comment and more information about the settlement.
San Jose, California-based Adeia was the intellectual property licensing unit of TiVo owner Xperi before Xperi was spun off into an independent company in 2022.
Santa Clara, California-based AMD is one of the largest U.S. semiconductor companies and a major producer of processing chips that power artificial intelligence systems. Adeia's lawsuits, filed in November, said that several models of AMD processors used in desktops, laptops and servers violated Adeia's patent rights in inventions for improved semiconductor manufacturing.
Adeia said that its predecessor Tessera pioneered hybrid bonding and advanced process nodes, which are both technologies related to semiconductor manufacturing. Its lawsuits said AMD processors that include "3D V-Cache" technology, including its AI chips, were made using Adeia's patented methods.
AMD denied the allegations in court filings in January.
The cases are Adeia Semiconductor Bonding v. Advanced Micro Devices Inc., U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Nos. 7:25-cv-00510 and 7:25-cv-00511.
For Adeia: Jennifer Cieluch, Adam Swain, John Haynes, Nicholas Tsui and Stephen Lareau of Alston & Bird
For AMD: Nicholas Whilt, Xin-Yi Zhou and Ryan Yagura of O'Melveny & Myers
