Asw v. State of Oregon

This case involves an infringement action by Altera Corporation ("Altera") against Clear Logic Incorporated ("Clear Logic") under the Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984, 17 U.S.C. §§ 901-14 ("SCPA"). Altera also brought state law claims against Clear Logic for intentionally inducing Alteras customers to breach their software license agreements with Altera and also for intentional interference with those contractual relations. A jury found for Altera on all claims and a judgment was entered for $30.6 million in damages, $5.4 million in prejudgment interest and $394,791.68 in costs. The district court judge also entered an injunction preventing Clear Logic from engaging in those activities against Altera. We affirm the judgment and the injunction.
