Ten Companies Agree with AMD Subpoena

Yesterday, within the lawsuit filed against Intel, AMD was given the right to subpoena 38 companies mentioned in the complaint.

With these subpoenas, AMD demands that all documents referring to the business relationships between companies and Intel are to be preserved and to be made available for lawyers. AMD is particularly interested in the contracts signed with Intel, but also in the mails between sales representatives of the companies mentioned before and Intel.

Among the companies which have been subpoenaed, only 9 have agreed to collaborate with AMD without limitations.

The PC producers which have received subpoenas from AMD are: Acer, Averatec, Dell, Fujitsu, Fujitsu Siemens, Gateway, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Lenovo, NEC, NEC-CI, Rackable Systems, Sony, Sun, Supermicro and Toshiba.
Among the retailers, AMD has requested documents from: ASI, Avnet, Ingram, Supercom, Synnex, and Tech Data, but also from the following stores: Aldi, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Dixons, Fry's, MediaMarkt, Office Depot, and Vobis.

The companies that have agreed to the subpoena issued by AMD are: Best Buy, Sony, Sun, Acer, Circuit City, Gateway, Lenovo, NEC-CI, Rackable and Tech Data. Dell, Hitachi and CompUSA have acknowledged receipt of AMD's subpoena, but don't have an answer yet.

Toshiba refused any cooperation, while the other companies haven't confirmed the receipt of AMD's notice.

Considering that there is a court order that gives AMD the right to receive the requested information, AMD is convinced that the rest of the companies will comply and will send all the necessary documents.
