NVidia Sues 3dfx
by Steve Gibson, Aug 28, 2000 4:25pm PDTJust when you thought the bickering between NVidia and 3dfx couldnt get any worse, NVidia has just filed a lawsuit against 3dfx claiming patent infringement and they are seeking an injunction restraining 3dfx from selling any Voodoo3/4/5 cards. Thanks Bungle for the mail.
NVIDIA's lawsuit involves five NVIDIA patents and seeks an injunction restraining 3dfx from manufacturing, selling or importing infringing graphics chip and card products including VooDoo3, Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 and VSA-100 family of products, as well as monetary damages. The lawsuit alleges that 3dfx's graphics chip and card products which are used to accelerate 3D graphics on personal computers, infringe on the following NVIDIA U.S. Patents: No: 5,687,357; No. 5,721,947; No: 5,758,182; No: 6,023,738; and No: 6,092,124.

We cannot allow the fruits of this investment to be misappropriated.''

*rolls fingers in anticipation of the new $650 GeForce 3's that will be rolled out once nVidia wins the case, 3dfx closes its doors, NVDA shoots to $180 (and has to split again, 3-for-1 this time), and the U.S. Anti-Trust Gestapo fires up its legal engines again*
