Mentor Graphics files patent infringement
suit against EVE
Mentor Graphics has filed a patent infringement suit against
EVE in the U.S. Federal District Court for the District
of Oregon.
The suit alleges that EVE products violate Mentor Graphics
patent rights under United States Patent No. 6,876,962 issued
April 5, 2005, and seeks damages and to bar their manufacture
and sale in the United States.
Intellectual property is the lifeblood of a technology
company, said Tom Evans, corporate intellectual property
counsel for Mentor Graphics. We have an obligation
to our shareholders to defend our intellectual property
when we believe it has been infringed.
