Via Strikes at Intel with Countersuit

It would seem that VIA is in the mood to play hard ball with Intel saying that Intel's own chipset the 845 infringes VIA's patents among other things.

As I understand it this is what started it all.
"Via has already released its own chip set, the P4X266, that supports DDR, however the company has not obtained a license from Intel for the 400MHz bus used with the Pentium 4. The company maintains Intel does not have a patent that covers the bus."
