Their litigation began shortly before the establishment of OPTi Technologies, with Intel in 2001. Intel settled out of court with OPTi that year for $ 13.5 million in exchange for the purchase of patents OPTi alleged that Intel had infringed. OPTi then launched a string of successful suits against 320: 442:(FireWire) serial buses. These products however barely broke even, and in September 2001, OPTi's board of directors voted unanimously to dissolve the company, subject to approval in November 2001. After a year of dormancy, the company sold its semiconductor business and assets to the unaffiliated company OPTi Technologies. Marren soon took the reins of OPTi Technologies, and the company shortly after renamed themselves OPTi Inc. 312: 36: 490:; by 2009 the company had won a total of $ 14.75 million in judgments and settlements against Nvidia, with further litigation by that point still in limbo. Also in 2006, OPTi launched an infringement suit against AMD, though this case stalled until February 2010. The courts ruled in favor of OPTi in May 2010, and AMD agreed to pay $ 32 or $ 35 million to OPTi. 521:
