Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (Peregrine Semiconductor)
(NASDAQ: PSMI), a leading provider of high-performance radio
frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), today announced that it has
filed a new lawsuit in U.S. District Court alleging the
infringement of Peregrine patented intellectual property relating
to RFICs and switching technology by RF Micro Devices, Inc.
(RFMD).
The suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of California claims that certain RFMD products infringe a newly
issued Peregrine patent relating to silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
technology for RFICs. Peregrine seeks, in addition to damages, to
permanently enjoin RFMD from further infringement. This new legal
action is in addition to an existing lawsuit filed against RFMD in
February 2012 and currently pending in U.S. District Court.
The new patent, U.S. Patent 8,405,147, concerns Peregrine’s
HaRP™ invention that significantly improves the linearity and
circuit performance of RF SOI devices. Peregrine believes the HaRP™
invention is instrumental for RF SOI devices to successfully meet
the demanding RF requirements of advanced mobile wireless
applications such as 4G LTE.
“Peregrine has enabled significant advancement in the RF
front-end architectures of mobile wireless devices with our
high-performance products and technology. Our innovative products
are used extensively in the latest generation of mobile devices,”
said Jim Cable, president and chief executive officer. “Peregrine’s
proprietary UltraCMOS® process and design technologies are the
result of more than 20 years of intensive research and development
activity and the investment of approximately two hundred million
dollars. Peregrine is committed to a vigorous defense of its
intellectual property and continuing advancements in the
field.”
Peregrine has been awarded numerous U.S. and foreign patents
based on its pioneering work in developing and manufacturing
high-performance products using CMOS-based semiconductor
manufacturing processes. These patented innovations allow RFICs to
deliver a unique combination of high levels of monolithic
integration and performance, small size and low power
consumption.
