Intel Corp. has countersued a much smaller developer of microprocessors, Transmeta Corp., alleging patent infringement in a Delaware court, according to Associated Press and other online reports.
Transmeta (Santa Clara, Calif.) announced it had filed lawsuit against Intel (Santa Clara, Calif.) in October 2006. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleged that Intel has infringed upon ten (later increased to 11) of Transmeta's patents.
The patents cover computer architecture and power efficiency technologies and the complaint charges that Intel has infringed and is infringing Transmeta's patents by making and selling a variety of microprocessor products, including at least Intel's Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M, Core and Core 2 product lines.
In its filing Intel has denied Transmeta's claims and counterclaimed that the company has infringed seven Intel patents, the reports said. Both law suits ask the courts to stop the other company to be prevented from selling its chips and seek unspecified damages, the reports said.
