Intel to appeal Itanium injunction
C|Net | at | by Mike
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 chipmaker to appeal the ruling. After the order, an Intel representative said the company 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 chipmaker to pay Intergraph $150 million.
