Intel Antitrust Case Brought by Taiwan's Via Tossed Out in U.K. By Cesca Antonelli Santa Clara, California, June 19 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. persuaded a U.K. judge to throw out an antitrust case against the world's biggest chipmaker brought by Taiwan's Via Technologies Inc., saying Via has ``no real prospect'' of proving its claims. Via said in the lawsuit it's entitled to make chipsets that work with Intel's Pentium 4 personal-computer processor, alleging Intel's refusal to grant Via a license is abuse of its monopoly. The ruling in London's High Court of Justice Chancery Division marks the latest development in a dispute between Intel and Via that's ballooned into 11 lawsuits in five countries. Intel builds 80 percent of processors sold and still has a patent-infringement case against Via in the U.K. that will continue. Other litigation is pending in the U.S., Germany, Taiwan and Hong Kong. ``Via has not pleaded a case which would satisfy even the widest reading'' of past decisions, Justice Lawrence Collins wrote in his June 14 judgment on the antitrust case. Via spokesman Timothy Chen declined to comment on the case. The company in January dropped a European Commission complaint alleging anti-competitive practices by Intel. Santa Clara, California-based Intel is still willing to consider a license for Via at a fair price, Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said.
