. Paul and All, DEC V. INTC. My take on dec is that dec had those patents as an "insurance policy" against intel just in case intel would step over the boundaries. Intel pretty much proclaimed war on all companies that deal with amd and as you know dec anounced their k6 designs. Intel openly supported dell and gateway for being pure intel shops and offerred special deals tomcompaq in order to make them an intel shop(sort of). That put dec in disadvantage and probably they contacted amd and cyrx/ibm and asked them if they can supply enough parts for their intel compatible products and after that dec activated an "insurance policy". That cought intel by surprise because intel would not think that anyone might actually retaliate to their monopolistticactions. (Keep in mind that word monopoly wasmentioned by dec many times even though that it has no relevance to patents per say). IBM and COMPAQ saw an opportunity for cyrx to move in with a law suit as well. ( I do not think that cyrx in a position to take on intel without side help.) So cyrx sue intel for two more infringements on cyrx's patents. Any comments?
