did intel really try to sue amd for buying an x86 license and selling x86 chips so that there were multiple x86 producers allowing intel to sell x86 chips to the u.s. government

they licensed it to AMD in 1976, then tried to terminate the license in 1987 and sued AMD for infringement in 1990

"tried" so they failed and the contract stood? was the case intel trying to trick the judge?
