Transmeta targets Intel with a patent infringement lawsuit
Transmeta, based in Santa Clara, California has filed a lawsuit claiming Intel has used 10 of Transmeta’s power management and other patents in designing its chips.
Transmeta claims that the microprocessor giant is using their technology without permission in products including Pentium 4, Pentium M, and the Core 2.
They filed this lawsuit 17 months after announcing their plans to shift its focus from making chips to licensing technologies.
Intel in their response said that they would carry out a “vigorous defense” against Transmeta’s claim.
The case against Intel is likely to go to trial in 2008. They are asking the courts to get Intel to stop selling processors infringing on their patents.
