University sues Intel over patent
From Times Wire Services
Intel Corp. was sued by the University of Wisconsin after the parties failed to agree on licensing a patent related to microprocessors.
The university’s licensing agency, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, owns a patent issued in 1998 for technology it said improves the speed and efficiency of the chips, which it calls a “major milestone in the field of computer microprocessing.” One of the inventors, Gurindar Sohi, presented his work to Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel and offered to discuss licensing it, according to the complaint.
