The following is adapted from Scott Graham’s Skilled in the Art IP newsletter. This post is about VLSI Technology v. Intel, a case being tried before U.S. District Judge Alan Albright of the Western District of Texas. Fortress Investment Group-backed VLSI is seeking damages for two semiconductor-related patents that it alleges have been infringed by more than a billion Intel products. Intel says it doesn’t infringe either patent, and that one of them is invalid.

Any time a witness opens a door to a subject, there’s always the possibility an opponent will drive a truck through it on cross-examination or redirect. What stands out about the VLSI-Intel trial is how fast lawyers on both sides can hop in the driver’s seat and run someone over.
