Intel, Intergraph Settle In Hyperthreading Suit

Posted by timothy on Wednesday March 31, 2004 @02:48AM from the smackeroonies dept.

Sir Pallas writes "Intel settled a patent infringement suit over SSE and Hyperthreading for $225mil with Intergraph. Furthermore, Dell, also named in the suit, claims that their indemnity agreement with Intel applies in this case and requires Intel to take any bullets headed Dell's way." Update: 03/31 17:49 GMT by T : philthedrill writes "The Intel/Intergraph article title is incorrect. Technically," (according to this story at out-law.com), "Intel/Dell and Intergraph settled a longstanding suit which dealt with Itanium (not SSE/Hyperthreading). Another company, MicroUnity, is now suing Intel and Dell over SSE and Hyperthreading."

I cannot comment on Project Monteray... but if you bothered to read http://www.groklaw.com you would see that the new "SCO" formerly known as Caldera has yet to provide any evidence of copying; and has a rather bizzare interpretation of what constitutes derivative work.

The tone of your message makes me suspect that you have a large position in SCOX and believe press releases from SCOX instead of well researched facts on Groklaw; for all I know you may work for SCOX.

Personally I am offended by SCOX's attempted "Claim Jumping" of Linux.
