“No details of settlement reached one-day before trial”

“Intel Corp. and the Federal Trade Commission’s lawyers said
Monday they’ve agreed to settle antitrust charges against the
world’s leading chip-maker, with regulators withdrawing their
landmark case just a day before it was to go to trial.”

“The FTC had charged Intel with using its monopoly power to
force three of its customers to turn over their patent rights.”

“No details about the proposed settlement were forthcoming until
the FTC approves it.”
