The trial date for AMD's long-running antitrust case against chipmaker Intel has been pushed back to February of 2010, as both companies move to depose witnesses.

Back in 2005, chipmaker AMD sued rival Intel, claiming the company unlawfully maintained a monopoly in the microprocessor market by coercing its customers to stay away from AMD and its products. AMD filed similar antitrust motions in other markets around the world—in fact, South Korea's Fair Trade Commission just ruled in AMD's favor—but the case in the United States has been dragging on and on, as both sides file motions and bring in high-powered attorneys to manage their cases. Intel denies any wrongdoing.
