Beijing time on May 3, Samsung and Nvidia GPU (graphics chip) patent disputes reached a settlement agreement. On Monday, the two companies said in a joint statement, both sides have small quantities of their patents to each other, but not to broad patent cross licensing and no compensation.

Patent dispute involving graphics chips, in the Smartphone and tablet computer, the graphics chip is everywhere, it can transmit streaming movies, running a sophisticated video game.

Nvidia is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, it outsourcing chip manufacturing operations to Taiwan businesses. Asian manufacturers will install Nvidia graphics chip on the circuit board, to make a video to consumers or computer manufacturer.

Originally scheduled for this week ruled that the patent litigation is Samsung launched a retaliatory lawsuit, Samsung claims Nvidia Shield tablets of violating its chip patents. Samsung in the United States lost the first battle in the civil case in Virginia.

Samsung claims that ITC litigation involving basic circuit design patents, which can make circuits smaller, faster, better. Samsung's patented energy costs for manufacturers, providing better video performance.

三星与Nvidia和解GPU专利纠纷：已签署授权协议 - 三星,Nvidia,GPU - IT资讯

北京时间5月3日消息，Nvidia与三星电子就GPU（图形芯片）专利纠纷达成和解协议。本周一，两家公司发表联合声明称，双方已经将自己的少量专利授权给对方，但没有对专利进行广泛的交叉授权，也没有赔偿金。

专利纠纷涉及到图形芯片，在智能手机和平板电脑中，图形芯片无处不在，它可以传送流媒体电影、运行复杂的视频游戏。

Nvidia总部位于加州Santa Clara，它将芯片制造业务外包给台湾企业。亚洲制造商将Nvidia图形芯片安装到电路板上，制作成为显卡销售给消费者或者电脑制造商。

原本定于本周一裁定的专利诉讼案是三星发起的报复性诉讼，三星宣称Nvidia的Shield平板电脑侵犯了自己的芯片制造专利。三星在美国弗吉尼亚民事诉讼案中输了第一仗。

三星电子宣称，ITC诉讼案涉及一些基本电路设计专利，它可以让电路更小、更快、更好。三星的专利可以为制造商节能成本，提供更好的视频性能。Nvidia反驳称，三星只是重新使用了旧技术，这些旧技术连三星自己都不再使用，它还认为如果ITC发布产品进口禁令是不合适的，因为专利发明只覆盖到一些并不重要的小特性。整个诉讼案还波及到Nvidia的客户，包括映泰科技、Jaton、精英电脑。

两家公司在声明中表示，和解协议意味着双方撤销地区法院、美国ITC、美国专利及商标局的所有诉讼。
