Intel Must Pay $150M for Patent Infringement

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the holy-alliteration-batman dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ExtremeTech is reporting that a U.S. district court has ruled that Intel's Itanium infringes Intergraph's intellectual property to the tune of $150 million in damages. The judge also cleared the way for Intergraph to request an injunction blocking sales of Itaniums and Itanium 2's."

    ...at the reg: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/27561.html.

    Anyways, it seems pretty clear that Intel will have to pay, which is another sad example of the poor state of the US patent system.

    I understand it as they have a choice: either they pay (or make another kind of settlement) or they may face the problem of not being prohibited from selling any.
