Chip Maker Gets $35 Million Judgment

Neoflexycurrent writes "The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a $35 million judgment against Clear Logic for violation of the Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984. The court concluded that the jury properly rejected Clear Logic's argument that it had legitimately reverse engineered Plaintiff Altera Corporation's mask work design to create cheaper application-specific integrated circuits."

Re:Gee, What a Surprise - 9th Circuit

You don't know what you are talking about, but your panties are in SUCH a bundle about the 9th Circuit [Court of Appeals] that you just HAD to post so that you could slam them even if you didn't know if it was appropriate to this case or not.

Which means I hope your post hits -1 real soon (moderators, please take note).

yeah, there's a decreasing interest in how things actually work or are made or are done these days, very disturbing. I daresay, sadly, that some of the New Orleans victims are dead because of such ignorance.
