Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 17, 2009, the United States District Court in the Northern District of California issued an order (under seal) reversing an earlier order issued by the Court that initially granted Volterra’s request for a preliminary injunction in its patent suit against Infineon Technologies AG, Infineon Technologies North America Corp. and Primarion, Inc.
Volterra continues to believe in the strong likelihood of success in its case against Infineon/Primarion, and continues to expect the case to go to trial next year.
About the Case
Volterra filed a lawsuit against Infineon/Primarion in November 2008 claiming, among other things, that Infineon/Primarion's PX4640 and PX4650 integrated power products infringe certain Volterra patents. In December 2008, Infineon/Primarion filed certain counterclaims in response to the lawsuit. In July 2009, Volterra filed a motion for preliminary injunction, seeking to stop Infineon/Primarion from marketing or selling these products while the case is ongoing. At a hearing in September 2009, the Court issued a minute order granting Volterra’s motion for a preliminary injunction, but in November 2009 the Court issued an order (under seal) denying the preliminary injunction.
