Intel Corp. won a patent-infringement case some U.S. lawmakers said could have threatened jobs at the chipmaker’s U.S. manufacturing plants.
The U.S. International Trade Commission upheld, with modifications, trade Judge David Shaw’s findings that Intel didn’t violate the patent rights of closely held X2Y Attenuators LLC. Hewlett-Packard Co. and Apple Inc., which use Intel chips, were also named in the ITC complaint. Notice of the decision was posted yesterday on the agency’s website.
