Hard to believe a company as Savy as INTC would NOT sew up all the legalities on a product they put so much hope on. Especially considering they could have gotten it for a song.

They obviously believed that the patent wasn't applicable. Now we'll probably have a court tell us if they were right.

JDN, Re: "Hard to believe a company as Savy as INTC would NOT sew up

A certain person with a well known name, whose anonymity I'll preserve here, said something to me at the Intel stockholders' meeting this year about companies and lawsuits. It's obvious, but worth repeating. When you have a lot of money, and I mean a LOT of money, have the lawyer staff ready, because everybody and his uncle and aunt is going to try to get some of it out of you. No-one sues companies that don't have two nickels to rub together. Intel has a few, and, maybe some silver dollars also.

p.s., Isn't there another company, up in Washington, that has some coin stashed somewhere, that spends a fair amount of time in litigations?
