Agere Systems has settled three patent infringement suits with Atmel Corp., ending a four-year court battle. Both parties have agreed to dismiss all outstanding litigation. Neither company released details of the settlement. Agere, a Hanover Township, Lehigh County, chipmaker, had sued Atmel in 2002 for infringement of five patents. Four of the patents concern semiconductor manufacturing processes and a fifth is related to the metal frame in which chips are packaged. The case was filed in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
