By SBN Staff,
Intel and National Semiconductor announced Tuesday they have settled a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Cyrix before the Texas company was acquired by National last November.
Intel and National -- both based in Santa Clara, Calif., -- agreed to extend the terms of their patent cross-license agreement to include patents owned by Cryix. National and Intel did not disclose the details of the suit settlement.
Cyrix filed suit against Intel in May 1997 saying recently granted patents were being violated in the Pentium, Pentium Pro, and Pentium II processors. Cyrix, based in Richardson, Texas, became a wholly owned subsidiary of National on Nov. 17, 1997.
Under the settlement, Intel and National agreed to extend the term of their long-standing broad patent cross license.
