Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is a publicly traded semiconductor company founded in 1969 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Traded under the ticker AMD on the Nasdaq, the company has a global workforce of approximately 31,000 employees as of 2025 and reported revenues in the range of $34.6 billion. As a "fabless" manufacturer, AMD designs its chips but outsources the physical production to third-party foundries.

AMD is a major designer of high-performance computing and graphics technologies for a wide array of markets, including data centers, personal computers, gaming devices, and embedded systems. The company's main product lines include central processing units (CPUs) sold under the Ryzen, EPYC, and Athlon brands, and graphics processing units (GPUs) marketed under the Radeon brand. AMD also develops semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products for major gaming consoles like the Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox, as well as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and adaptive SoCs.

The company's patent litigation history, based on the provided data, shows it as a defendant, which is a common posture for large, operating technology companies. With one tracked case as a defendant and zero as a plaintiff, AMD appears to be defending against patent assertions rather than initiating them. This defensive role is typical for a company with a large portfolio of products in the market.

The single tracked case, Redstone Logics LLC v. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., was filed on April 18, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The plaintiff, Redstone Logics LLC, is a Texas-based entity that has also filed similar suits against other major technology companies like Apple and NVIDIA concerning a patent on multicore processor technology. The clustering of these cases in a Texas federal court is a common feature of patent assertion campaigns.
