Intel Countersues Transmeta Over Patents
Intel struck back at Transmeta on Thursday, countersuing the company for patent infringement over methods to control power consumption in computer chips. The company sued the chipmaker in October over similar patents.
A total of 11 Transmeta patents were part of that suit filed in the U.S. District Court in Delaware, covering Intel's Pentium III, 4, M, Core, and Core 2 lines of processors. Intel failed to respond to that suit. Intel's suit covers seven of its own patents and was filed earlier this week in the same court. Transmeta would not comment on the suit, as it had not had a chance to look over Intel's charges.
