Gottfried, Re: "But if Intel lose, they should be sued for frivolous trial and be prosecuted for business damage." Not at all. VIA would have to prove that Intel knew that they would have no chance of winning, and thus created the trial as an excuse to delay the chipset. Otherwise, Intel simply loses out on licensing fees, and both companies move on with their business. Or possibly Intel will appeal, since losing a case like this would put the question of licensing at risk, and raise some more controversial issues about when licensing applies, when it doesn't, and probably other legal implications. wanna_bmw
