For those that are patent unaware, the markman hearings basically determine the validity of the patent, 3dfx is now asking for a summary judgment of infringment. If this is true and the court has rejected all of nvidia's claims and accepted the validity of 3dfx's patent on multi-texturing then nvidia is going to be paying 3dfx some serious cash in damages. Gonna be interesting to watch this play out, might see nvidia take that 400million in cash they just got and do a hostile takeover of 3dfx...
