Court Ruling Confirms Synopsys’ Ownership of Fixed Timing Inventions
Synopsys reports that the United States District Court has ordered Magma to withdraw its claim of ownership to the ’446 and ’438 patents and to transfer title to Synopsys.
“This ruling confirms what we’ve been saying all along. Magma has no ownership interest in any of the fixed timing inventions at the core of our claims in this case,” said Brian Cabrera, Synopsys general counsel. “We look forward to proceeding with the balance of the case after the court issues its ruling in the ownership phase.”
However, Magma is reporting that the court’s decision denied Synopsys’ requests to halt the re-examination process of the ’438 patent.
“Synopsys proposed remedies to the court that would have stood in the way of the patent office’s re-examination of the patents, but the remedy in today’s ruling permits the re-examination process to continue on its normal schedule,†said David Stanley, Magma’s corporate vice president, Corporate Affairs. “The discovery process has revealed that the patents in question are likely invalid, so Synopsys’ claims of infringement have no merit.â€

I as well as my pals happened to be studying the good suggestions found on your site and then suddenly developed an awful suspicion I never thanked the site owner for those tips. All of the guys were definitely totally happy to read all of them and have now without a doubt been taking advantage of these things. Appreciation for really being indeed considerate and then for going for variety of cool issues most people are really desperate to be aware of. My personal honest apologies for not saying thanks to you earlier.
