Silicon Image Responds to Analogix Semiconductor Lawsuit
Silicon Image believes this filing is in connection with the earlier lawsuit filed by Silicon Image in January 2007 against Analogix in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, accusing Analogix of copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unlawful business practices. The case is scheduled to go to trial in September 2008. In its lawsuit, Silicon Image alleges that Analogix, without authorization and in violation of Silicon Image’s intellectual property rights, copied and utilized Silicon Image’s proprietary register maps and semiconductor configuration software.
“It is unfortunate that, as the trial date for our case against Analogix approaches, they have chosen to file a complaint against Silicon Image containing allegations that are without merit and an attempt to distract from the legitimate issues about Analogix’s business practices raised in our litigation against the company,” said Edward Lopez, Silicon Image’s chief legal officer.
HDMI technology has been adopted by more than 800 semiconductor, consumer electronics and PC manufacturers; all producing a wide variety of HDMI-enabled products.
