STMicro (1:20-cv-00089) has become the fourth defendant in the first litigation campaign of Monterey Research, LLC, a subsidiary of IP advisory firm IPValue Management (d/b/a IPValue). Across the campaign, the plaintiff asserts subsets of patents, generally related to semiconductors (including chip architecture, memory devices, and fabrication), acquired from Cypress Semiconductor. The new case was filed in Delaware, where the earlier three suits—filed separately against AMD, Nanya, and Qualcomm last November—sit in different postures in the earliest stages, all before District Judge Colm F. Connolly.
