Microchip Technology Files Patent Infringement Suit Against ZiLOG, Inc.
“Microchip introduced the first of its now industry-leading 8-pin PIC® microcontroller products in 1996,” said Steve Sanghi, Microchip’s President and CEO. “The technology breakthroughs that have enabled Microchip to achieve its position of leadership in 8-pin microcontroller products are protected by a strong patent portfolio. We are resolved to enforce those patents against infringers, to protect our investments in research and development and the interests of our employees and shareholders. Microchip has alleged that ZiLOG infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 5,847,450; 6,483,183 and 6,696,316.”
