NVIDIA is already facing a lot of problems regarding the strong launch of the ATI's 4000 series of graphics cards along with the millions of dollars in repairs it has to pay for faulty mobile Geforce Go series of graphics cards (namely the 8400 M and the 8600 M). Now a technology licensing company, called Rambus, has sued NVIDIA to add to it's woes, here is a snippet from the official press release,
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), one of the world's premier technology licensing companies specializing in high-speed memory architectures, today announced it has filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against NVIDIA Corporation for patent infringement.
The lawsuit alleges that a number of NVIDIA products with memory controllers for SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3, GDDR, and GDDR3 SDRAM infringe 17 Rambus patents. The accused products in the complaint include chipsets, graphics processors, media communication processors, multimedia applications processors and other products from at least six NVIDIA product lines. Rambus is seeking injunctive relief barring the infringement, contributory infringement, and inducement to infringe the Rambus patents, as well as monetary damages.
