Supermicro has filed a declaratory judgment action (5:16-cv-00566) against Computer Protection IP, LLC (CPIP). The complaint alleges that the NPE sent Supermicro a letter (attached to the filing) threatening to initiate litigation should Supermicro not take a license to a single patent (8,468,591) generally related to server security. The letter targets servers that are compatible with Intel’s Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), and Supermicro suggests that, rather than engage Intel directly in licensing discussions, CPIP is threatening litigation against server manufacturers.
