Inphi Reduces Litigation After Rejections of Netlist Claims by the U.S. Patent Office

SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 21, 2011) - After reexaminations and continued rejections of claims of certain Netlist patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI) today announced that Inphi and Netlist jointly filed, and the U.S. District Court has accepted, a stipulated dismissal of Inphi's lawsuit against Netlist. The lawsuit asserted that Netlist was infringing certain Inphi patents related to DDR3 technology and was filed in November 2009 after Netlist had brought a lawsuit alleging that Inphi infringed certain Netlist patents. The stipulated dismissal permits re-filing of this lawsuit by Inphi at a later time and will currently allow Inphi to conserve legal expenses. As mentioned earlier, this action comes after reexaminations and continued rejections of claims of certain Netlist patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and a continuance until 2012 of the stay of the Netlist lawsuit against Inphi.
