<Intel has indicated a willingness to license Via but Via is unwilling to pay the fee. They cannot agree on a price.> Are you sure about this? If what you say is true, then I would think that Intel can bring this up in court as an indirect admission by VIA that it is infringing on some Intel IP (thus seeking a license), no? I can't find the specific article that discussed the price issue but I did find this: ebnews.com Asked if the two companies had discussed a licensing arrangement, Mulloy said Intel never talks about specific discussions it may have had. "But I will point out that we're always willing to consider licensing our intellectual property." [Edit: found this too] eetimes.com The snag over the license simply boils down to cost. Intel reportedly wants $10 to $20 per chip set in fees, which would be at least 30 percent of Via's selling cost, and perhaps up to 50 percent. The chip set is expected to initially sell for $30 to $40.
