"a subsidiary of A/V solutions giant Creative Technology" .. not "Another patent Holding scum bucket".
They are quite big on windows ! I think Apple had to pay them 100 million US$ already once for the iPod design.
I say "Another patent Holding scum bucket" simply because in the new patent troll laws, a company will not be able to wait until another infringing company expends "sweat" making the technology successful then decide to sue. Thats exactly what ZiiLabs did. Secondly, Eastern District of Texas?? Really?? The whole process just stinks! I want ZiiLabs to get spanked heavily and learn a valuable lesson regarding patent trolling and set a president for all other trolls!
Yup, East Texas is pretty darn popular if you have a patent that needs monetizing. Check out this pretty extensive list of other patent cases filed in East Texas in a single November week. Looks like almost big tech is represented.

Patent law must be in terrible shape if these sorts of frivolous claims can be filed against a company like Apple.
It isn't a frivolous claim if the patents are valid. Further this company is far from being a patent troll. In the end it comes down to did the Power VR hardware infringe. That will be difficult to determine.
People seem to get wrapped up in the idea that any company that tries to protect its patents is some type of troll. That is unfortunate and frankly seems to highlight a complete misunderstanding of why the patent system even exists. The patent system is there to protect you as an inventor, simple as that. So if this company did invent these technologies and Apple did use then via the use of PowerVR technology then the suit is justified. The real question then becomes are the technologies identical and thus one a rip off of another.
I say "Another patent Holding scum bucket" simply because in the new patent troll laws, a company will not be able to wait until another infringing company expends "sweat" making the technology successful then decide to sue.
You can only mount a law suite when you have evidence you think favors your case. You have no idea how long it took Ziilabs to build the case nor how long they have attempted a licensing deal with Apple.
Thats exactly what ZiiLabs did. Secondly, Eastern District of Texas?? Really??
Why not? Would you choose a court that is known to be hostile to the idea of patents? In any event this court does nothing outstanding other than to enforce patent law, it isn't like they are making it all up as they go along. Beyond that you never hear about the suites that fail in this district.
The whole process just stinks!
Not at all! The process is the only thing we have to protect the inventor. Is it perfect, certainly not but no legal process is.
I want ZiiLabs to get spanked heavily and learn a valuable lesson regarding patent trolling and set a president for all other trolls!
If you believe that then you are totally ignorant with respect to what is happening in this case and 3D Labs long history developing technology like this. Either the hardware Apple is using infringes or it doesn't, at this point it is up to the courts to decide.
Doesn't Apple and Samsung liscense the GPU Tech. Shouldn't the infringement be suit be targetted at Intel, PowerVr , NVIDIA and AMD.
Well Samsung and Moto decide that the can withdraw their licenses for SEPs that Apple had agreements with Qualcomm and Infineon/Intel, so now anything goes?
I agree with you opinions, but the courts need to decide.

In the Eastern District of Texas, If you bother to do any research, One of the Judges and the Patent Attorney are Father/Son.
This isn't a problem for you? The fact that there is a 90% Plaintiff win rate.......come on......think a little bit.

That one made me laugh, probably due to the name.
If this has merit, Apple should then gobble this up before Samsung does.
I doubt this company would sell their IP. Far too lucrative to collect royalties until the patents expire.
It isn't a frivolous claim if the patents are valid. Further this company is far from being a patent troll. In the end it comes down to did the Power VR hardware infringe. That will be difficult to determine.

Its wasn't about buying the IP. Its about outright buying the company. Its public
Yes, and unless the offer is for billions, I have real doubts a sale would be entertained.
