Prior to this role, Mr. Lindgren was Senior Regional Counsel for Texas Instruments Japan Limited, based in Tokyo.

Under Mr. Galanthay's guidance, MOSAID initiated litigation against Micron Technology, Inc., ProMOS Technologies Inc. and Powerchip Semiconductor Corporation. The Company also entered into an important patent licensing partnership with the California Institute of Technology. Mr. Galanthay will continue to serve as a company Director.

Mr. Lindgren joined TI in 1986 and worked for three years as a failure analysis engineer before becoming a Patent Licensing Engineer in 1989.
