BANGALORE, INDIA: Early this week, Intel Corp. disclosed that it has notified Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) that it believes AMD has breached a 2001 patent cross-license agreement with Intel.

Intel further believes that Global Foundries is not a subsidiary under terms of the agreement and is therefore not licensed under the 2001 patent cross-license agreement.

AMD has come out with its statement on this matter.

According to Ramkumar Subramanian, VP Sales & Marketing India, AMD: “Intel’s action is an attempt to distract the world from the global anti-trust scrutiny it faces. Should this matter proceed to litigation, we will prove that Intel fabricated this claim to interfere with our commercial relationships and thus has violated the cross-license.”

We will monitor this development further!
