Intel and NVIDIA settle licensing issues.

January 10, 2011.

Intel and NVIDIA today announced that they have signed a “comprehensive long-term patent cross licensing” agreement. Intel will pay NVIDIA 1.5 billion dollars over a six year period in licensing fees. The agreement also stipulates that NVIDIA is prohibited from making chipsets for Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors.

Is this a case of Intelectual Property limiting innovations?
