The US International Trade Commission will investigate complaints by Samsung that Nvidia has infringed some of its patents covering graphics chip technology, the agency said Tuesday. Samsung’s complaint was filed in November and was in response to an earlier decision by the same court to investigate a patent infringement complaint by Nvidia against Samsung.
The battle between Nvidia and Samsung over patents rages on, with the US International Trade Commission on Tuesday saying it will look into Samsung’s claims against Nvidia. The ITC said it would open an investigation into claims by Samsung that Nvidia violated its patents in many of Nvidia’s graphics chips and devices. David Shannon, Nvidia’s general counsel, in a blog post called the decision “typical legal ping pong.” Nvidia first filed suit against Samsung in September, and Samsung lodged its own complaints shortly thereafter. Shannon added that Nvidia’s ITC suit against Samsung likely will be the first decided by the courts.
