Nvidia and AMD Sued Over Power Management in Chips

[cookoy]

The entity that patents something should come out with a working product employing that patent within 2 years otherwise the patent should be invalidated.

 

[Tab54o]

Really sick of this crap. I agree with reforming the patent systems this is such BS.

 

[photonboy]

This is my patent:

"A system of electronic gates which communicate via the transfer of electrons through copper threads."

Where's my $100 Million please?

another communist article.
mr douglas 'Mao' perry forgets to mention Intel has been filing patents on power management recently.
mr douglas 'Mao' perry also seems to assume just because a patent included a description means that the patent is based solely on the description.
the description is just a general brief to get you on the right track to understanding what the full technical language written into the patent is and about.

mr douglas Mao perry as well as other Toms writers hope you will forget about the full technical language of the patent in an ongoing effort to troll for new supporters for communism in the united states of america.

go tout your 'everybody owns everything' government policies else where commies
other wise kindly hand me your computer mr perry because i own part of it also and i am going top smash it with a 20 pound maul, you can have it back after i have shown you the realities and utter miserable failure of communism.

when the world wide web came out if i had bought and paid for the bestbuy.com domain name it was rightfully mine and best buy had to pay me for it during the period of time i have purchased it forand i do not lease it , rent it or sell it to best buy for their use and they try to get a domain name on it.
just because somebody smarter then you beat you to the punch and got something before you doesn't mean everybody has a right to the prize.
all of this was already decided in court and stuck for life, like a criminal record.
now if i sell the rights of bestbuy.com to some other company before it's term of use it purchased it for expires and that other company wants to sue best buy because best buy did not lawfully obtain the rights to use bestbuy.com during the period for which it was bought, that's best buys problem for being in the wrong.

to any patent article writer trolling for an uproar to bring communist policies to the united states i say get your arse in china where you belong with all the other communist policy believers!

or a good cause as to how corporate officers think, why buy the cow when you can steal the milk for free

So they're claiming they have the intellectual rights to all transistors?

Power Management sues over power management. Now that's a headline I haven't seen in a while...

 

[Super_Nova]

Ha ha, Power Management Solution abbreviated is PMS. What's in a name? Lol

 

[mcd023]

idea: if you lose a patent lawsuit that you initiated, you have to pay the other party the amount that you were suing them for, in addition to court and other related fees.

 

[dreadlokz]

thats why thousands of patents are filled everyday! Im gonna patent intergalactic travel, time travel, and teletransport...and be rich in like 3k years =D

 

[wardoc22]

...What am I suppose to say about this?

 

[archange]

Of course: their acronym is PMS; it makes perfect sense they would know about

integrated circuit I/O pads

.

 

[capt_taco]

obvious patent troll is obvious.

 

[demonhorde665]

yet more douche bags , that need to die.

 

[Guest]

Ha ha everybody always suing somebody. Intel ,apple ,samsung ,google ,amd..etc etc.....Always busy. Now another group joined this high tech bandwagon..The copyright Trolls and the Pirates. Patents ,copyrights and what next.

 

[robochump]

These patent trolls need a working example of their patent to even consider taking companies to court. Not just a patent on a vague idea never actually produced. This is another reason to hate lawyers.

 

[iamtheking123]

"using switches and a second electrical signal is being employed to control "the coupling action in the power gating means.""

So basically they're describing a relay or a mosfet switch. Sorry...prior art.

 

[jpeeves]

is this related to power gating? I don't understand what the article means by power coupling? How does an electrical signal help control the power gate?
If anybody mentioned where to read this up on wiki i would be much obliged.
