Intel’s piranha legal team is currently sinking its teeth into AMD as part of its defense in the antitrust case they lost across the pond. Let the feeding begin.
Intel drew first blood asking the courts to reprimand AMD for failing to retain documents pertaining to their filing against Intel back in June of 2005. Further, they are salting the wounds by claiming that not only were the documents lost, despite AMD boasting a new document retention system, but also AMD covered up its efforts to recover said documents.
Intel claims in a court filing “AMD failed to begin retaining documents when it reasonably anticipated the litigation, something that is required by law.”
It has gotten ugly quick and this is only the beginning. Do you think Intel is merely following legal protocol, going for the throat, or just being petty?
