AMD vs Intel Lawsuit Continues …
As the AMD sued Intel case continues, here is an update to the antitrust lawsuit.
AMD has won a motion to serve document preservation subpoenas against computer makers, retailers, distributors and small system builders almost immediately after filing the motion Friday, July 1, 2005, as part of its claim that Intel is violating the antitrust law and put pressure on their vendors to use its x86 processors rather than AMD’s. In other words, AMD is granted to right to view third party’s documents, including their vendors’ communication logs and documents.
It is no doubt, the use of such documentary evidence is expected to play a key role as AMD attempts to prove its antitrust suit in the District Court of Delaware.
Quoted:
The motion sought a judicial order permitting AMD to “preserve relevant evidence that is in the possession of specified third-parties.” The company said its lawyers will now “engage in discussions with 30 third-parties in an effort to implement the order so as to preserve evidence while imposing on them as little an administrative burden as possible.”
In an expansion of the anititrust law suit started early this week, Advanced Micro Devices filed two suits against Intel in Japan seeking more than USD$50 million for alleged anticompetitive acts.
AMD filed the claims through its AMD Japan unit on Thursday, June 30, 2005.

AMD officials said on Tuesday, June 28, 2005, that they would like to bring the case to trial in 18 months – the same amount of time it took the government to bring its case to trial against Microsoft Corp. in 1998. That would put the trial sometime in late 2006 if AMD is successful in its efforts.
