dbo:abstract
  • Cadence Design Systems, Inc. v. Avanti Corp was a major legal battle between two semiconductor companies, Cadence Design Systems and Avanti Corporation, that lasted for more than six years, and was fought over stolen technology. The criminal case concluded with Avanti executives pleading no contest to trade-secret theft, conspiracy to commit trade-secret theft, receiving stolen property, and securities fraud, and several receiving jail time. To acquire Avanti, Synopsys paid about $55 million in golden handshake payments to these same executives. Synopsys then paid an additional $265 million to Cadence to settle the remaining civil suit and $26.1 million to Silvaco to settle two of three Silvaco's suits against Meta Software and its President filed in 1995 and inherited by Avanti. The case resulted in a number of legal precedents. (en)
