Via Files Suit Against Apple

Posted by samzenpus on from the more-the-merrier dept.

crookedvulture writes "Add chipmaker Via to the list of companies filing legal suit against Apple. Via owns a number of fundamental technology patents inherited from Centaur, and it's already forced Intel to grant an ongoing x86 license. Via also has a vested interest; CEO Wenchi Chen is married to the head of HTC, which Apple sued for patent infringement last March."

    Surely Apple did not think that they were the only ones in the market with a patent portfolio.
