`NVIDIA Receives Favorable Ruling from ITC
` in Patent Dispute with Samsung, Qualcomm
`
`By David Shannon on April 6, 2015
`
`The judge presiding over our patent case against Samsung and Qualcomm in the U.S. International Trade
` Commission has returned a pretrial claim construction ruling that favors NVIDIA’s preferred construction on
` nearly all of the claims that were disputed.
`
`This pretrial decision, known as a Markman ruling, is the judge’s determination of the meaning and scope of
` the patent claims. Markman hearings are used in patent cases to define disputed terms of patents before a
` case goes to trial. This is an important step in determining whether Samsung and Qualcomm infringe NVIDIA’s
` asserted patents.
`
`Administrative Law Judge Thomas Pender has now determined what the claim language will mean for the
` hearing and his ultimate decision on the merits of the case.
`
`We’re very pleased with the outcome of the ruling, in which claim constructions favorable to NVIDIA will be
` applied to six out of seven disputed claims when the judge considers the question of Samsung’s and
` Qualcomm’s infringement. This further strengthens the patents we have asserted, and we look forward to a
` full hearing in late June.
`
`As I explained in September when we announced this action, this is the first time in NVIDIA’s 22-year history

` customers in Virginia. The judge there has denied our request to move the case to California. This has no
` bearing on the substance of Samsung’s case or Samsung’s asserted patents. We continue to believe Samsung’s
` claims have no merit, and that Samsung’s effort to sue a small company selling NVIDIA-based products in
` Virginia is entirely unwarranted.
