没这回事,Intel和AMD的专利官司95年完结了,指令集应该包括在当时的交叉授权协议中了。
有这回事,我的记忆稍微出了点差错,实际是Intel告上法庭,结果败诉了。这是发生在97年的事。
Intel said Friday it filed suit against AMD and Cyrix Corp. in U.S. District Court in Delaware for infringement of the term MMX, which was originally an acronym for a multimedia extension set developed by Intel and licensed to others, and is now claimed by Intel as a proprietary technology label.
The suit alleges that "AMD and Cyrix have designed and begun implementing strategies to improperly leverage Intel's enormous investment in the MMX trademark which could result in confusion in the minds of consumers as they make buying decisions." The suit seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief along with unspecified damages and awards.
AMD said last week it believes the term MMX is a generic term for multimedia extensions. When the instruction set first came out, MMX was used as an acronym to explain the instruction set. Only later did Intel decide to claim trademark rights. |
