Intel Investors - VIA is taking Intel's Patent Suit seriously ! They are trying to invalidate one of the contested patents - for snoop circuit timing. They are doing this in a British court !! Paul {======================================} Via counters Intel patent suit in London court By Jack Robertson, Electronic Buyers' News Feb 16, 2000 (2:26 PM) URL: ebnews.com Via Technologies Inc. fought back today against a patent infringement suit filed by Intel Corp. by filing its own suit in a London court seeking to invalidate Intel's patent on chip timing circuits. The action was filed in the Patent Court of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. The Intel patent being challenged by Via is No. EP (UK) 0-804763, involving snoop timing design. Richard Brown, Via's director of marketing, said the counter suit was brought to fight Intel's own patent infringement suits against the Taiwanese company and several of its customers and associates, filed in courts in London, Singapore, and San Jose, Calif., and also at the U.S. International Trade Commission. "We strongly believe that the patent infringement claims they [Intel] have made against us are totally without merit," Brown said.
