A pan-European dispute recently pitted two US companies against each other: R2 Semiconductor on one side and the processor giant Intel Corporation on the other. R2 Semiconductor asserted a patent relating to a particular voltage regulator in several jurisdictions.
R2 prevailed in the patent litigation in Germany, while Intel obtained a favourable decision in England; meanwhile, proceedings on the same patent were also brought in France and Italy.
According to reports in the specialist international press and to the parties’ official statements, the dispute has recently been settled under an agreement whose terms remain confidential (reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars). In Italy, R2 Semiconductor was assisted by LGV Avvocati, in particular by partners Luigi Goglia (pictured) and Tankred Thiem.
According to Legalcommunity, Intel was assisted by Trevisan & Cuonzo, with a team led by Vittorio Cerulli Irelli.
