Owners of Computers with Intel Microchips v Intel
Copycat Lawsuits Target Intel
Three owners of computers with Intel Corp. microprocessors have filed separate class action suits against the chip making giant in a U.S. District Court.
The plaintiffs allege that Intel has engaged in anti-competitive practices resulting in higher priced computers and other electronics products. They have asked the court for unspecified restitution.
The first was filed by Ronald Konieczka in a San Francisco district court on the 30th of June. An unrelated case, was filed by Maria Prohias, also in San Francisco. The third case was filed on the 29th of June by David E. Lipton, again in a San Francisco court.
The class action suits come just days after rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) filed an antitrust suit against Intel in a U.S. District Court in Delaware on June 27, alleging that Intel has been operating an unlawful monopoly in the x86 microprocessor market.
