3Com and Infineon Technologies AG announced a settlement in their intellectual property dispute concerning Ethernet over DSL. Under the agreement, 3Com assigns rights to certain patents to Infineon in exchange for an undisclosed fee and a portion of future royalties earned through licensing the patents. Infineon’s Packet-over-VDSL (PoVDSL) and 10BaseS chips incorporate the technology protected by these patents. Engineers from Savan, an Israeli start-up acquired by Infineon, were assisted by 3Com engineers when they developed the technology protected by these patents.
