Barnes & Noble Inc., the largest U.S. bookstore chain, sued LSI Corp. to prevent the chipmaker from demanding patent royalties on sales of the Nook digital reader.
LSI notified Barnes & Noble on June 29, 2010, and at other times “its intention to pursue claims of infringement of the LSI patents,” the New York-based bookseller said in a complaint filed yesterday in federal court in San Francisco.
