AMD Pulls TCL Infringement Allegations on 1 of its 5 GPU Patents

Advanced Micro Devices wants the International Trade Commission to partially terminate the Tariff Act Section 337 investigation into its allegations that TCL smart TVs and Realtek graphics processing unit chips infringe five of its patents on GPU circuitry architecture (see 2206060040), said an AMD motion Monday in docket 337-TA-1318. It’s withdrawing infringement allegations against one of the patents (8,760,454) but letting stand the assertions against the other four, said the motion, which TCL and Realtek didn’t oppose. Withdrawal of some of the allegations will “simplify” the investigation and “conserve judicial and private party resources,” said AMD. It's seeking cease and desist and limited exclusion orders against the allegedly infringing TCL and Realtek goods.
