11:07 AM EDT, 04/08/2024 (MT Newswires) -- R2 Semiconductor said Monday it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in Paris against the French units of Intel ( INTC ) and its clients Dell (DELL), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and HP (HPQ).

The move comes before the April 16 start date of a UK trial on the same European patent against Intel ( INTC ), R2 said.

The French suit is to defend a "patent covering integrated voltage regulation technology invented" by its Chief Executive David Fisher, R2 said.

The company said that it won judgments by a German court in February against Intel ( INTC ), Dell and HP, including injunctions that block the sale of chips that use R2's technology.

Intel ( INTC ), Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by MT Newswires.
