The lawsuit claims Intel infringed on 10 Digital patents related to Alpha and other chips--though Palmer doesn't claim this piracy occurred during negotiations between the companies in 1990 and '91. Intel was then considering licensing Alpha technology for its next-generation chip; after both companies signed a confidentiality agreement, Dig- gital revealed the Alpha design.
