ISSI Wins Jury Verdict in Litigation Brought by GSI Technology

A Milpitas technology company won an unfair competition lawsuit filed by a Sunnyvale competitor, the company announced Monday.

A jury found in favor of Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. as to all causes of action alleged against it by GSI Technology, Inc.

GSI had filed suit against ISSI in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in October 2013 alleging trade secret misappropriation and unfair competition.

Following a four-week trial in San Jose, the jury rejected GSI’s claims against ISSI. Other GSI claims, including antitrust allegations, were dismissed in pre-trial rulings.

“We invested a lot of time and effort to defend this case. However, after more than two years plus a several week jury trial, we are very pleased with this favorable verdict,” ISSI’s president and CEO Scott Howarth said.

The verdict remains subject to potential post-trial motions or a potential appeal by GSI.

ISSI makes integrated circuits for automotive, communications and industrial sectors.
