For some reason, I got a chuckle out of this.

Subject: Oops! Intel "accidentally" sues potential partner

I can see it now -- World War III will start, not with an accidental
launch, but with an accidental lawsuit...

Last week, the Taiwanese chipmaker Via Technologies received a package in
the mail containing court documents from Intel, a potential business partner
with whom they had been working on a cross-licensing agreement. It turned
out that Intel had written a draft contingency lawsuit and had accidentally
filed it in US District Court in San Jose. By law it could not be
withdrawn, but Intel filed for dismissal the same day.

[Really tells ya how they think, eh? While one hand is offering to do
business, the other is preparing to sue... Lenny]
