Graphics Properties said it has suffered huge damages and will continue to suffer unless the alleged infringements are halted. The company seeks to stop the sale of infringing products, appropriate royalties and other damages.
Silicon Graphics filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and sold much of its operations to Rackable Systems Inc. The remaining operations are based in New Rochelle, New York, and are owned by private investment firms and other investors, according to the complaints.
