Retailers Urge Federal Circuit to Support Intel in VLSI Chip Patent Case

A retail trade association has recently encouraged the Federal Circuit to uphold the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s decision in a pivotal intellectual property case involving a VLSI chip patent dispute. This case initially resulted in the invalidation of the patent in question. Central to this appeal is the contention that Intel’s participation in the challenge was justified and appropriate. Retailers are standing behind Intel and OpenSky Industries, supporting the assertion that there were no procedural missteps in allowing Intel to enter the legal fray.
