ATI Technologies sues Real 3D

The lawyers are now part of the story for ATI Technologies sues Real 3D. As reported by Reuters, ATI Technologies sued Real 3D on Wednesday after Real 3D filed a lawsuit last week in Orlando alleging that ATI’s RAGE graphics product line infringes two Real 3D patents.

At issue are Real 3D’s patents for a method for modulating color for effecting color cell texture and for an advanced video object generator. Real 3D had alleged that three of the patents’ claims were infringed by Canadian-based ATI’s RAGE products. In papers filed in the U.S. District Court in Delaware, ATI said it had been negotiating since October about Real 3D’s assertion that ATI needed to license Real 3D’s technology or face patent infringement charges.
