The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has ruled that Intel Corporation’s computer chips don’t infringe on tiny X2Y Attenuators’ patents, dealing a final blow to X2Y’s unlikely bid to block sales of Apple Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Company computers that use the Intel chips.
In a decision issued Monday, the Federal Circuit upheld the U.S. International Trade Commission’s narrow view of the scope of two X2Y patents relating to microprocessor technology. The ruling is game over for the Erie, Pa.-based company, because it already conceded that the trade commission’s claim construction order doomed its patent infringement claims against Intel, Apple and HP. (Apple and HP were roped into the case on a theory that they infringed by incorporating the Intel chips in their computers.)
