(Telecompaper) Nvidia announced that it has filed complaints against Samsung and Qualcomm at the International Trade Commission and in the US District Court in Delaware, alleging that the companies are both infringing Nvidia GPU patents covering technology including programmable shading, unified shaders and multithreaded parallel processing. The Samsung products include the Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 mobile phones; and the Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy Note Pro and Galaxy Tab 2 tablets. Most of these devices incorporate Qualcomm mobile processors, including the Snapdragon S4, 400, 600, 800, 801 and 805. Others are powered by Samsung Exynos mobile chips, which incorporate ARM's Mali and Imagination Technologies' PowerVR GPU cores. Nvidia wants the court to set a value for a licensing agreement with the companies. In addition it asked the ITC to block shipments of Samsung Galaxy mobile phones and tablets containing Qualcomm's Adreno, ARM's Mali or Imagination's PowerVR graphics architectures.
