Intel to appeal Itanium injunction
Source: CNet News
A U.S. District Court judge issued an injunction Wednesday that bars Intel from making and selling its Itanium processor, but immediately suspended that order to allow the chip maker to appeal the ruling.
Following the order, an Intel spokesman said it would pay Intergraph $100 million for a license to Intergraph's technology if it loses its appeal in the case.
Earlier this month, the court ruled that Itanium violated patents held by Intergraph and ordered the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip maker to pay Intergraph $150 million.
