Nvidia launches patent suit against Qualcomm, Samsung
In a fresh patent suit for the tech world, Nvidia is launching a legal battle against Qualcomm and Samsung. The processor maker filed formal complaints over seven patents with the International Trade Commission as well as at the U.S. District Court in Delaware.
Nvidia is arguing that both Qualcomm and Samsung have been infringing upon its GPU patents covering programmable shading, unified shaders and multithreaded parallel processing technologies.
David Shannon, executive vice president, chief administrative officer and secretary at Nvidia, insisted in a statement on Thursday that Nvidia tried to negotiate with Samsung over a licensing agreement for the seven patents in question.
