Danielle Williams and DaWanna McCray discuss the defense verdict in the second VLSI v. Intel trial before Judge Alan D Albright, and offer observations as to what the parties did differently, which may have led to the very different jury verdicts.

For the sixth day of the jury trial in VLSI Technologies v. Intel II, the parties gave their closing arguments.

On Day 5, Intel rested its case-in-chief and VLSI delivered its rebuttal case.

For the fourth day of the jury trial in VLSI Technologies v. Intel II, Intel presented its non-infringement and invalidity positions through its two experts, Professor Apsel and Professor Leeb. Professor Leeb will be cross-examined on Monday. 

For the third day of the jury trial in VLSI Technologies v. Intel II, VLSI closed its case-in-chief with its damages expert, Dr. Ryan Sullivan, who valued VLSI’s damages at $3B using hedonic regression in his analysis, similar to his approach in the first trial.

For the second day of the jury trial in VLSI Technologies v. Intel II, it became clear that as to both asserted patents, VLSI’s infringement allegations centered on the “FIVR,” or fully integrated voltage regulator, feature of the accused chips.

VLSI Technologies v. Intel’s second jury trial began on April 12, 2021.
