Synopsys Request for Stay of Injunction Denied in Emulator Patent Case with Mentor Graphics
WILSONVILLE, Ore., April 20, 2015 — Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), today announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has denied a motion by Synopsys for a stay, pending appeal, of the injunction issued by an Oregon federal district court against Synopsys emulators. The injunction, issued March 12, prohibits Synopsys, Inc. from making, using, selling, offering to sell, licensing or leasing in the United States any emulators or software that incorporate Mentor Graphics’ patented emulation technology covered by U.S. Patent No. 6,240,376.
The injunction also prohibits Synopsys from importing into the United States any emulators that incorporate Mentor’s patented technology, and from selling or leasing infringing emulators outside of the United States for use by persons inside the United States.
The court concluded that Eve-USA Inc./Synopsys “have not established they are entitled to a stay of the injunction”.
