Intel wins patent spat with R2 Semiconductor in the UK — chipmaker still has ongoing cases in Germany, Italy, and France

Intel's headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif.

In the High Court of England and Wales, Intel just won the case R2 Semiconductor filed against it. R2 alleges that Intel’s voltage regulation technology infringes on a patent it owns and wants to stop the sale of Intel processors that use it.

This technology is designed to protect the chip from damage or degradation in case of overvoltage, and Intel uses it for its 10th to 12th-generation Intel Core processors. R2 Semiconductor says that Intel is violating its patent by integrating it into these chips without a license, but Intel argues that R2 Semiconductor’s patents are invalid.
