Imes is in bankruptcy. It appears that the Plaintiff (Techsearch) is suing Intel, but it appears that the patent does not explicitly claim the process Intel is using... However, one is supposed to read the claims in view of the specification (The Spec describes the background of the invention and the invention itelf)... What the author didn't emphasize is: Intel doesn't think TechSearch has a case. "We are going to vigorously defend ourselves," an Intel spokesman said. "This suit is without merit." At least one patent expert agrees. "It's an annoyance lawsuit," said Rich Belgard, a microprocessor patent expert in Saratoga, Calif. "People buy patents and they sue the big guys. I don't think Intel will roll over. I think they'll fight it and win." "The hardware claims (in the patent) both have 'means plus function' language, which means you have to interpret them according to what's in the patent," Belgard explained. "On that basis, I think the suit is going to fail."
