Nvidia, Microsoft hit with patent lawsuit over AI computing technology – ET CISO

Artificial intelligence computing giants Nvidia and Microsoft were sued in U.S. court on Thursday for allegedly stealing a small Texas company’s data processor technology to help fuel development of AI products.

Plaintiff Xockets accused Nvidia and Microsoft of “rampant” patent infringement in the lawsuit, filed in Waco, Texas, federal court.

Xockets also said the companies violated antitrust law by conspiring with each other and with patent risk management company RPX to fix and drive down the price of Xockets’ technology.

“Nvidia and Microsoft are abusing their dominance and market power in AI in an attempt to pay little or nothing for the innovations of others that are used in their products,” Xockets board member Robert Cote said in a statement.

Nvidia declined to comment. Microsoft and RPX, which is also a defendant, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Microsoft has invested billions into a partnership with ChatGPT maker OpenAI, which has become the face of generative AI. Nvidia’s equipment is used in data centers that help develop and run AI systems.

Xockets, founded in 2012, said its inventions for “data processing units,” or DPUs, are essential elements in some of Nvidia and Microsoft’s systems.

It said its technology allows computer systems to offload and accelerate some tasks that would otherwise overburden server processors.

The lawsuit said Xockets sought to license its technology to Nvidia and Microsoft, but the companies formed a pact to channel any licensing negotiations through RPX.

Xockets said it was seeking unspecified triple damages and a court order that would block the sale of products that allegedly contain patent-infringing technology.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
