TI Files Patent Infringement Suit Against Samsung
DALLAS (January 2, 1996) - Texas Instruments today said it has filed suit
against Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of Korea, and its two U.S.
subsidiaries, charging them with patent infringement. In addition to
unspecified monetary damages, TI is asking the court to issue a permanent
injunction barring Samsung from using TI's patents.
The litigation was filed in Federal District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas alleging violation of several patents involved in the
manufacture of semiconductor devices, including dynamic random-access
memories (DRAMs).
TI took this action following extensive negotiations with Samsung
regarding renewal of a five-year cross-licensing agreement that expired
December 31, 1995.
"TI has a strong patent portfolio that reflects billions of dollars in
R&D investment. Our resolve to protect it and get a fair return for others'
use of our technology has not wavered," said Richard J. Agnich, TI senior
vice president and general counsel.
TI previously reported that most of the company's existing semiconductor
patent-license agreements would expire at the end of 1995 or early in 1996.
The remaining agreements, which have expiration dates ranging from 1998 to
2001, will provide ongoing royalties, and TI continues to expect a
significant ongoing stream of royalty revenue throughout the remainder of
the decade.
Negotiations continue for renewal of the expired and expiring
agreements. However, these negotiations by their nature are not predictable
as to outcome or timing. TI will not accrue royalties in the absence of
agreements. Royalty revenue from the companies whose agreements expired at
the end of 1995 is estimated to be about $108 million in the fourth quarter
of 1995, principally attributable to Samsung. The expiration of these
licenses will have no effect on fourth-quarter 1995 royalty revenue.
Separately, TI plans to file a complaint with the International Trade
Commission asking the ITC to prevent Samsung from importing devices that
infringe TI's patents.
