 | | Conexant Systems will pay Texas Instruments (TI) $70 million to license certain DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) patents, settling a legal dispute between TI and GlobespanVirata, a Conexant subsidiary, they announced Friday. |
 | | Conexant's dispute with TI dates to its 2004 acquisition of GlobespanVirata, which had ongoing litigation with TI. |
 | | The agreement between Conexant, in Newport Beach, California, and TI, in Dallas, resolves the alleged past infringement of ADSL patents by GlobespanVirata and provides a license for these products under a previous 2003 agreement between Texas Instruments and Conexant, according to a statement Friday from Conexant. |
