Vehicle manufacturers obtain favorable settlement in a semiconductor microprocessor infringement suit

Finnegan represented Toyota, Subaru, and Mazda, who were each sued in Eastern District of Texas by Norman IP Holdings. The plaintiff alleged infringement of five semiconductor microprocessor patents that it had acquired from Advanced Micro Devices. The Finnegan team mounted a strong defense against these allegations and put together a compelling invalidity challenge to all the patents.  All three vehicle manufacturers settled on favorable terms.
