Garmin Announces Victory in Patent Dispute with Rambus

Garmin International, Inc., a subsidiary of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), announced today that the U.S. International Trade Commission has rejected all of Rambus, Inc.'s patent allegations against Garmin. As a result, the Commission terminated the investigation initiated by Rambus styled In the Matter of Certain Semiconductor Chips and Products Containing Same.

This is Garmin's third consecutive victory in patent matters before the Commission. “We are pleased with this result and are excited for the few other respondents that chose to fight the imprudent allegations with us,” said Andrew Etkind, Garmin's vice president and general counsel. “I have faith that the Commission will continue to uncover the truth in the growing number of sometimes questionable patent investigations brought before it.”
