(NASDAQ:NETL), a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, today announced it has been recognized as having one of the top 50 patent portfolios by The Patent Board™ in its quarterly Semiconductor Industry Scorecard in a Wall Street Journal article this week.
NetLogic Microsystems’ patent portfolio ranked 8th in Industry Impact™, which is based on the extent to which other companies are building upon a portfolio of issued US utility patents as compared to the total set of utility patents. NetLogic Microsystems has over 550 issued U.S. and foreign patents covering a wide range of innovations for its market-leading knowledge-based processors, multi-core processors, 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet physical-layer (PHY) solutions and LTE base station DFE processors which are being deployed by Tier One original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide.
“We are honored to receive yet another industry recognition for our superior patent portfolio,” said Dr. Varad Srinivasan, chief technology officer at NetLogic Microsystems. “Having an innovation-driven culture has enabled us to maximize the creative talent of our exceptional engineering teams, and to continue to develop highly differentiated products that further separate ourselves from the competition.”
The Patent Board, a leading independent provider of best practices research, tools and metrics for patent analysis and intellectual property investment, tracks and analyzes innovation, movement, and the business value of patent assets across every industry on a global basis. The Patent Board’s patent scorecards are published for 17-different industry sectors. Standings in the quarterly Industry Patent Scorecard are based on a comparison of data for the prior 13-weeks.
