A couple of questions/thoughts:

1) Has Intel invested in BRCM, as in part ownership? If so, aren't they basically 'suing themselves'? As the value of BRCM goes up, so does the value of Intel's investment in BRCM. Plus, being a part owner, Intel should be able to swing some strategic agreements with BRCM. Sort of makes me think of a story I heard one time about a doctor who was sued by a patient who was also a friend. The friend/patient said to not take it personally, that they were just doing it for the money.

2) Perhaps Intel sees an erosion of key employees to BRCM and wants to stop any in the future by suing BRCM. Picture employees who have been at Intel for awhile and who have made a ton of $$$, then wanting to go to Broadcom and make a ton of $$$.
