Reed Semiconductor Sues Monolithic Power Systems Over Chip Patent Dispute.

Reed Semiconductor, a company based in Rhode Island that develops advanced power chips, has filed a patent lawsuit against Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) in Texas federal court. Reed claims that MPS has used its patented technology, which helps stabilize power in electronic devices, without permission. The lawsuit also alleges that MPS has interfered with Reed’s business relationships.

This new legal action follows earlier lawsuits by MPS against Reed, which Reed believes were unjustified. Reed says it is committed to innovation in power management for modern computers and data centers and wants to compete based on technology, not lawsuits. Reed is being represented by the law firm Morgan Lewis LLP.

Patent disputes like this are becoming more common in the fast-moving semiconductor industry, as companies compete to create better, more efficient chips for AI and other advanced applications. The result of this lawsuit could impact how such technologies are protected and licensed in the future.
