I'd bet that the reason that AMD is suing Alcatel has to do with setting up the standard for the dozens of flash memory contracts AMD signed with many other big flash users. AMD's message here was intended for far more ears then just those employed by Alcatel. The message is simple. "AMD intends to meet all of their contractual commitments, and AMD expects our customers to do the same." IMO, this is really an issue of business ethics. A contract must bind both parties to an agreement. If one side simply snubs its nose at the obligations to which they have contractually agreed, then the other side should sue! A one sided game like that is an outrageous affront. If the words that are written in contracts mean nothing, then the paper on which they are written would have been better used as toilet paper!
