PRESS RELEASE
INTEL SETTLES INTERGRAPH PATENT LITIGATION
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 30, 2004 - Intel Corporation today
announced it has settled the remaining issues in a patent
infringement suit pending in U.S. District Court in Marshall,
Texas relating to Intel's Itanium(R) microprocessors. Under terms
of the settlement Intel and Intergraph will move for dismissal of
the case with prejudice. As a result, neither company has any
further financial obligations under an earlier April 2002
settlement agreement.
In addition, under terms of the current settlement Intergraph has
granted Dell Inc. certain licenses to Intergraph patents and
agreed to dismiss Intergraph's separate pending litigation
against Dell. Intergraph sued Dell for patent infringement in
December 2002. This agreement gives Dell a license to all
Intergraph-owned patents, and covers past, present and future
Dell products. Dell has a unique indemnity agreement with Intel
that Dell claims obligates Intel to indemnify the company from
patent infringement claims in the litigation which relate to
combining Intel microprocessors and other components in Dell
systems. Intel disagrees with Dell's interpretation of the
agreement, but has decided to remove the current dispute from the
courts and resolve the disagreement privately.
The new settlement with Intergraph also includes a covenant by
Intergraph not to sue any Intel customers for products that
include Intel microprocessors, Intel chipsets and Intel
motherboards in combination.
As part of the current agreement, Intel will pay Intergraph $225
million. Intel will pay $125 million to Intergraph by April 5 and
$25 million in each of the next four quarters. The accounting
treatment for the settlement has not yet been determined.
However, Intel expects some portion or all of the $225 million
will reduce earnings in the first quarter of 2004.
Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading
manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products.
