AMD and Intel Announce Settlement of All Antitrust and IP Disputes
Business Wire
Intel Corporation and Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) today announced
a comprehensive agreement to end all outstanding legal disputes between
the companies, including antitrust litigation and patent cross license
disputes.
In a joint statement the two companies commented, “While the
relationship between the two companies has been difficult in the past,
this agreement ends the legal disputes and enables the companies to
focus all of our efforts on product innovation and development.”
Under terms of the agreement, AMD and Intel obtain patent rights from a
new 5-year cross license agreement, Intel and AMD will give up any
claims of breach from the previous license agreement, and Intel will pay
AMD $1.25 billion. Intel has also agreed to abide by a set of business
practice provisions. As a result, AMD will drop all pending litigation
including the case in U.S. District Court in Delaware and two cases
pending in Japan. AMD will also withdraw all of its regulatory
complaints worldwide. The agreement will be made public in filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
