Why in the world would Intel pay 250mil for such rights if they could prove them invalid for an average cost of less than 1mil?]]>Oct 24th 2007 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/Oct 24th 2007 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/Oct 24th 2007 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/
People said the same thing about Z4 technologies, but they were actually a company that was put out by MSFT and the other big guys because they just stole the Z4 tech rather than license it. Then there's MercExchange. They were put out by Ebay, and ebay did sucessfully steal their tech (no injunction and forced royalty). I'm just sick about hearing of "patent trolls" every time one of the big boys gets sued, when the "troll" would be practicing the invention if the big boys hadn't stolen their time, effort, and innovation.]]>Oct 24th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/intel-and-transmeta-settle-patent-dispute-for-250m/Oct 24th 2007 11:06PM
