WARF, a private, non-profit corporation that is a supporting organization to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, filed a complaint against Intel in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.

WARF seeks compensation in the suit. It is asking the court to declare that Intel is infringing on its patent. The court also will be asked to enjoin Intel from selling the product, and to order Intel to pay damages to WARF and cover WARF's legal fees.

The foundation's complaint identifies the Intel Core2 Duo microarchitecture as infringing WARF's U.S. Patent No. 5,781,752, entitled "Table Based Data Speculation Circuit for Parallel Processing Computer."

The technology, patented in 1998, was developed by four researchers at the UW-Madison.

Terms of the suit were not disclosed.
