THE COVINGTON CHIP (1997)
Article in PC Week Oct 1997 - Intel zeros
in on power by Richard Barry
PC Week can exclusively reveal Intel's Pentium
II plans leading up to the millennium. The chip manufacturer is re-engineering
the P11 processor to create a faster; cheaper chip, code-named Covington, which
will be released some time in 1998 and manufactured on a 0.25
micron process. Covington will be the second generation P11 processor
and represents a major change in the cornpany's
approach to the sub-$1,000 (£595) market, which it terms "segment
zero". Previously Intel largely ignored this market. An industry source
said: "The plan is to introduce a powerful Pentium II at a much lower
entry without affecting performance." The source added: "Intel is
touting two technologies at segment zero. Covington will be its answer to AMD's
K6+ 3D and the IDT Winchip+, which both have L2 cache
built into the chips."
Intel is also working on a
Pentium II that uses an enhanced MMX (MMX2) instruction set on a 0.25 micron process, code named Katmai and scheduled for
release in early 1999. Katmai will also be aimed at the consumer market and is
likely to have 30 graphics capabilities built in. A much more powerful
processor; code named Willamette, is due by Q4 1999. Little is known about
Willamette except that it has a large cache and will perform below the 64-bit
Merced chip. Before the planned processors appear, Intel will debut its 0.25 micron process with the long awaited Deschutes processor which will be formally announced on
January 26 as a 333MHz desktop processor with a 512Kb cache. The mobile version
of the chip, which will benefit from the 0.25 micron
process cooler, faster performance, will be announced in mid-1998.
The industry source also
confirmed that by the summer of 1998, Intel will be releasing 350MHz and 450MHz
Pentium II processors on a slot 2 configuration with up to 2Mb of level 2 cache
running at the same speed as the processor. Slot II will be primarily focused
at the high-end workstation market where it will support up to four processors.
Intel refused to comment on
unannounced products.
Wikipedia entry
within Celeron subject reads
Intel Celeron Covington
Launched in April 1998, the first
Covington Celeron was essentially a 266 MHz Pentium II manufactured
without any secondary cache at all. Covington also shared the 80523 product
code of Deschutes. Although clocked at 266 or 300 MHz (frequencies 33 or
66 MHz higher than the desktop version of the Pentium w/MMX), the
cacheless Celerons had trouble outcompeting the parts they were designed to
replace. Substantial numbers were sold on first release, largely on the
strength of the Intel name, but the Celeron quickly
achieved a poor reputation both in the
trade press and among computer professionals.
The initial market interest faded
rapidly in the face of its poor performance and with sales at a very low level,
Intel felt obliged to develop a substantially faster replacement as soon as
possible. Nevertheless, the first Celerons were quite popular among some
overclockers, for their flexible overclockability and reasonable price.
Covington was only manufactured in Slot 1 SEPP format.

Covington's Gamble article by Mike McKee - The Recorder/Cal Law,
November 9, 1999
“In D.C., Covington & Burling is a player, but will that
translate to big business in Silicon Valley? James Snipes knows what he's up
against in San Francisco.
On the East Coast, his 80-year-old, Washington, D.C.-based law
firm boasts major name recognition and commands instant respect. It's a big
player in regulatory and government circles, represents the National Football
League, and has strong ties to the White House. But in the Bay Area, Covington
& Burling doesn't carry quite the same cachet, particularly in the Silicon
Valley, where the firm -- which opened a Financial District office in June --
hopes to make a big splash in the intellectual property pool.
"Sometimes you are met with a blank stare, and that's
especially true with companies that are just starting up," admits Snipes,
the upbeat, 46-year-old managing partner of Covington's S.F. branch. "We
have a lot of people out there who know nothing about our practice."
And that's got to change if Covington -- which had never before
opened a domestic office outside its Washington headquarters -- intends to fit
into the Bay Area's pressure-cooker, high-tech market. It's not that Covington
doesn't have IP credentials. It represents Microsoft Corp. on some fronts and
does work for a few Valley firms already. It also has an IP team numbering
about 30 lawyers in San Francisco, Washington, London and Brussels, Belgium.
And it just merged with a 60-lawyer New York firm with East Coast IP
recognition.
It's just that to West Coasters Covington -- as with most D.C.
firms -- is synonymous with regulatory law. For example, Washington partner
Peter Barton Hutt is a former chief counsel for the Food and Drug
Administration, and just days ago partner Richard Meserve was sworn in as
chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
In fact, Robert Taylor, managing partner in the Menlo Park office
of Washington's Howrey & Simon, says he didn't even know Covington had an
IP practice. And David Slone, managing partner of the Palo Alto branch of
Townsend and Townsend and Crew -- a well-known patent firm -- says Covington
never comes to mind in West Coast IP circles.
"If you asked 10 venture capitalists if they've heard of
them, I couldn't tell you if they have or not," Slone says. "If you
asked 10 patent lawyers if they'd heard of them, I'd say most have not. They'd
say: 'Isn't that a New York firm?'"
That pretty much sums up 400-lawyer Covington's slightly prickly
predicament: how to show it can compete in the rough-and-tumble Silicon Valley
IP wars without sacrificing the core values and traditions that established it
as one of the nation's premier white-shoe firms. After all, many brand-name
firms have arrived in the Valley with a reputation of being one of the big dogs
only to slink away later with their tails between their legs.
"Irell & Manella was in Palo Alto. They're a fabulous
firm in L.A., and they didn't make it," notes Martha Africa, a principal
with the consulting firm Major, Hagen & Africa. "Brown & Bain,
from Phoenix, sank into the sunset." She says Covington is up against its
reputation of not being a tech firm. "The best thing they could do,"
she says, "is talk about who their clients are locally and their reasons
for being here."
Snipes, who transferred to the Bay Area from the London office,
doesn't disagree, but says a lot of people's perceptions about Covington are
dated. "Some folks still think of us the way we were 30 years ago -- as a
regulatory firm, only as an East Coast firm, a firm that represents only
Fortune 500 companies," he says. "So what we need to do is show them
that we can do for them what local firms can do, that we can plug some holes
for them -- to do the regulatory and international [work] as well.
"Being the new kids on the block," he adds, "we
need to give them compelling reasons to come to us."
CLIENT PRESSURE
Covington & Burling opened its S.F. office with seven lawyers,
five from its D.C. headquarters and two from its London branch. The office is
up to nine lawyers now -- four partners and five associates -- and Snipes
believes it will top out at 20 to 25 lawyers within a few years. Sitting in his
19th-floor office at 601 California St. with its view of Coit Tower and the
Transamerica Pyramid, Snipes explains that Covington was pressured by high-tech
clients to establish a West Coast presence. "Covington was one of the
largest firms in the U.S. that didn't have a domestic branch office," he
notes, "and the Bay Area was the clear choice for us."
That's because the firm -- ranked by The American Lawyer magazine
as 70th nationally in annual revenue at $152 million and $485,000 in profits
per partner -- wanted to raise its high-tech profile. The firm's Washington
headquarters already services high-tech clients right across the Potomac River
in Northern Virginia's Dulles Corridor, but wanted a broader geographic scope.
"Obviously, the Dulles Corridor is important, but Silicon
Valley is the center of things," says partner Sonya Winner, Covington's
chief litigation lawyer in S.F. "And it really goes beyond Silicon Valley.
We have a lot of West Coast clients and are obviously looking to get more. And
going 20 miles to Dulles is very different than going a couple thousand miles
out here." Snipes adds that it's "hard to stay on top of what's going
on without being out here."
The firm's West Coast move is part of a larger expansion this
year. Just last month, Covington merged with New York's Howard, Smith &
Levin, a 60-lawyer firm that specializes in corporate mergers and acquisitions.
"That firm also had a strong high-tech focus, and they've done a lot of
work with start-ups in Silicon Alley in New York," Snipes points out.
"It gives us real depth and expertise in public M&A and sophisticated
finance work. And that's an expertise we think will be very valuable to
companies in the Valley."
The S.F. office will emphasize work in telecommunications,
information technology and biotech, Snipes says. Besides Microsoft -- for whom
Covington is doing work on a software piracy case and representing its
interests on the Secured Digital Music Initiative, an effort by several
companies to develop a method for digitally downloading music in a secure
format -- Covington represents Caliper Technologies Corp., a Mountain
View-based microchip company; Electronic Arts, a Redwood City entertainment
software company; and San Jose's Adobe Systems Inc.
Snipes says the game plan for the Bay Area is still to sell
Covington as an all-purpose firm that has not only tech resources, but also
expertise in many fields."There's a lot of appeal for one-stop shopping on
regulatory and corporate and commercial work," he says. "It's always
more efficient and cost-effective if you can get that all under one roof."
It also helps, he says, to have offices in a couple of Europe's
capital cities, especially if, for example, a biotech start-up in Silicon
Valley wants to conduct a deal with a European pharmaceutical company.
"What are the commercial and regulatory obstacles you face in getting a
drug approved and marketed in Europe?" Snipes says. "Frankly, these
days a lot of key commercial transactions are cross-border."
Ironically, though, Covington's S.F. office was the center of
attention last week for two strikingly non-tech matters. The firm filed suit on
behalf of Bank of America, challenging San Francisco voters' initiative
preventing banks from charging non-customers fees for using automated teller
machines. It also sued for the NFL, accusing several Northern California bars
of illegally televising blacked-out Oakland Raiders games.
"Both of those are pre-existing clients, and both of those
clients took advantage of our physical presence here," says S.F. partner
Winner. "Obviously, when we have an office here, we don't have to have
local counsel, and for cases like those, that's the biggest issue."
DEFYING THE NORM
What's most surprising to local lawyers is the fact that Covington
isn't taking the classic approaches to establish itself as a Valley power: The
firm doesn't plan to hire any big-name lateral partners for instant credibility
and it opted for an S.F. office rather than acquiring space in Silicon Valley
hot spots like Palo Alto or Menlo Park.
"It's never been our style to go out and hire bodies. Our
basic model is that we will grow and promote from within," Snipes says.
"With time we could change our view, but our experience so far is that
we've had great success on the basis of our firm's reputation."
Lynn Pasahow, a biotech and patent litigation partner in
McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen's Palo Alto office, and Guy Chambers, an
S.F.-based Townsend partner, say it's almost essential for a new firm to hire a
well-established local lawyer with a good practice in place.
"Certainly, that's the recipe a number of these other firms
have used," Chambers says. Pasahow points out that that was the approach
used by Washington's Howrey & Simon, New York's Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom, and Los Angeles-based Latham & Watkins and Gibson, Dunn
& Crutcher. Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, a
D.C.-based IP boutique that's been in Palo Alto slightly more than two years,
followed the same pattern by hiring Ian Ballon, a leading expert on Internet
law, from Brown & Bain.
"That has helped us a lot," says Palo Alto managing
partner C. Larry O'Rourke. "It's very important to try to integrate into
the legal community here. It's quite different than the East Coast."
But it's easier to talk about grabbing a big name than doing it.
"It's harder to attract good lawyers than it is clients," says
Howrey's Taylor. "There's a tremendous growth in the demand for legal
services, but the problem is that all the law firms are clamoring for a small
universe of people."
Anna Marie Armstrong, a legal search consultant for Major, Hagen,
seconds that idea."It's getting harder to get those really big rainmaker
partners to come over," says Armstrong, who has done some work for
Covington. "Either [Covington is] going to maintain that traditional
character -- there are still people who want the stability of that -- or they
can try to sort of mold themselves somewhat differently out here."
Even so, local experts say Covington may regret not having opened
an office in Silicon Valley proper."If their business plan is to represent
Valley firms, it's critical to have an office in the Valley," says Pasahow
of McCutchen. "The Valley thinks of itself, as it should, as a special
place that has invented a way of doing business.! It's part of being a
community, of being part of the networks, of showing your participation in the
community by having an office here."
Snipes says Covington considered a San Francisco office "a
sensible first step." It was good for recruiting lawyers, he says, and was
based partly on the belief that Silicon Valley is inching northward. "If
we need to establish a presence [in the Valley] later, it could be done,"
he adds. "But my hunch is that we'll establish a presence in Asia before
we do more here."
LAID-BACK WEST
There are some predictions that Covington might encounter a bit of
culture shock, or at the very least a culture clash. Silicon Valley legal life
can be quite casual, and some East Coast lawyers find it difficult to let go of
their more formal standards."They come with their pinstripe suits and red
ties, particularly to a place like Apple [Computer Inc.], and they may find
they won't get a friendly welcome," says Townsend's Chambers.
"There's a different approach toward business [in Silicon Valley] that's
less regimented."
Slone of Townsend says that any law firm wanting to do business in
Silicon Valley must realize they will have to conform to the local culture.
"In the old days, the West Coast was the minor leagues, and everyone had
an inferiority complex," he says. "And now, as far as technology
goes, we're at the center of the universe. The notion is that whatever the
culture will be, the culture here will prevail."
Finnegan, Henderson's O'Rourke says his firm made some adjustments
to life in Palo Alto as soon as he arrived."The very first was [going]
casual 100 percent of the time. In D.C., we have casual Fridays," he says.
"Very seldom do we have clients that have a suit and tie on [in Palo
Alto]. They are younger, and other than that I guess the atmosphere is fairly
informal, generally, in California."
Snipes admits that Covington wondered whether its core values --
training, ethics and quality of service -- could be translated to the West
Coast. "The sense was that some firms had faced problems when a different
culture arose in a branch office," he says. But in the long run, firm
leaders realized they had to take a chance because it was "in [clients']
interests and our interests to be here."
Actually, casualness appears to be the norm in the S.F. office.
Snipes was tieless during a recent visit and other partners were dressed very
casually, one even in shorts.
The firm, however, has decided that it's not in its best interests
to follow another uniquely Silicon Valley law practice -- taking equity in clients.
Even within the Valley, the concept is controversial.
"The real problem is the ethical conflict," Snipes says.
"Can we be sure that if we hold equity in a client that we would be
completely dispassionate in the work we do and the advice we give?"
For example, he says, would the firm find it an added incentive to
push through a deal if the lawyers knew the stock would jump? "The
question," Snipes says, "is whether one can square it with one's duty
to the client." Covington isn't alone in its stance. Neither Finnegan,
Henderson nor Townsend have made it po
"There's technically potential conflicts," Slone says,
"but at first blush, you say you are throwing your lot in with the client,
so how can you be in conflict? We are moving kind of cautiously in that realm,
but there seems to be a widespread enough desire to get something like that off
the ground that we are beyond asking whether we shall do it, [it's] just how
will we do it?"
Some firms also use the practice as a recruiting tool in order to
sway young lawyers who might be thinking about going in house for a potentially
lucrative start-up.
Overall, it seems that Covington has a lot to overcome --
establishing itself as an IP player without hiring a local big gun and without
setting up shop in Silicon Valley. And also trying to appeal to junior lawyers
who might see a big-firm practice as stagnating.
Snipes isn't worried. "I make the pitch that we are a
start-up too. Here we need all hands on board and there is plenty of
responsibility and not layers and layers of staffing on everything," he
says. "What we offer here is a big-firm practice in a small-office
setting."
In addition, time is on his side."We're starting with a very
supportive parent," Snipes says. "There is no fixed time to turn a
certain profit, and that's taken the edge off."

SEARS NAMES NEW APPAREL BRAND
COVINGTON
Publication:
Retail Merchandiser , Date: Tuesday, April 23 2002
Sears, Roebuck
and Co. said on Monday its new private-label brand of conservatively styled
casual clothing will be called Covington and will replace eight other
proprietary lines including Crossroads, Fieldmaster and Trader Bay. Sears, the
No. 4 U.S. retailer, had previously announced plans for a clothing brand for
men, women and children as part of its effort to overhaul its apparel business,
which has lost ground to competitors like Kohl's Corp. and Target Corp. in
recent years
Investors
have been eager for details on the apparel line since it was first announced as
part of a broad restructuring of Sears' 860 department stores last fall. Some
of the new line will be in stores in time for the back-to-school season, and
the balance will be introduced in September, the company said on a conference
call with analysts last week. Sears said Covington apparel is expected to
generate several hundred million dollars on an annual basis. The line of khaki
pants, turtlenecks, shoes, sweaters and handbags aims to provide consumers with
"better-quality, high-value wardrobe essentials," the company said.
Items range in price from $10 for children's jerseys to $60 for men's leather
boots.
One retail
consultant said the Covington name conjured up class. "The names sound
good and is very British-sounding," Kurt Barnard, president of Barnard's
Retail Consulting Group, said. "It sounds classy, and Sears needed some
classiness in its soft goods [apparel] line."
In its
first-quarter earnings report last week, Sears said its apparel sales fell by a
percentage in the high single digits, but the retailer reported good sales of
items like appliances. Nonetheless, Merrill Lynch retail analyst Daniel Barry
wrote last week that Sears "has an uphill battle ahead" in its effort
to improve apparel sales.

New York — The assets of decorative fabric supplier Covington Holdings LLC, including the Covington name, have been purchased by the Kahan family.
The Kahans have long been active in the fabric business, operating
Osgood Textile Co. in West Springfield, Mass., a large retailer of decorative
and apparel fabrics. The retailer was started in 1948 by the late Herb Kahan,
father of Robert Kahan who today heads the retailer. Herb Kahan's son, Mark S.
Kahan will become chairman of the new entity, which will be known as Covington
Fabric & Design LLC. Mayer Kahan, Robert's son and Mark's nephew, becomes
evp. Mark's son Jonathan will work on the company's computer system upgrade.
Several other Kahan family members, spouses and in-laws are also investors.
Roger Gilmartin, an owning partner in CH LLC, remains with the
company as president and ceo. Gilmartin said, "I think the industry knows
that I have been searching for a strategic investor for Covington for some
time. I am excited by the opportunity that this transaction will create for all
the constituents in our business and I look forward to becoming a textile guy
again after two years of dealing with bankers and lawyers. “ Gilmartin noted,
"The whole team will be the same, and we will be at furniture market in
High Point and we have a new line in the pipeline for introduction at Showtime
in June." In the next few months, he added, "We will be introducing
members of the family to key customers and to key vendors around the world."
In addition, Covington will show at one of the off-site locations
during Proposte in Cernobbio; at HD in Las Vegas; and Decosit in Brussels in
September. Gilmartin, with other investors, bought Covington from the founding
Gilmore family in January 2006. The company originated in 1940 and grew to be
one of the largest decorative fabrics converters in the marketplace. In October
2007, Covington was refinanced.
Mark Kahan told HTT, "My family have known and been a
customer of Covington for over 40 years. We were very excited when the
opportunity to acquire a business with Covington's name and reputation became
available.". He added, "We know that the last few years have been
difficult for the company, but the underlying fundamentals of the business are strong
with loyal customers, vendors and associates, and we believe that properly
funded, the company can continue to be a major player in the home furnishings
market."
"The idea for our involvement originated with Bob and Mayer.
They were aware that the original LBO wasn't working out, and intersected with
Roger," said Mark Kahan, the retired head of Spirit Airlines and an
attorney. "We got the impression that the business could be fixed and
there was no doubt it could operate on eight cylinders vs. the four cylinders
it was currently on. It is a franchise that could be rebuilt."
He added, "I don't claim to be an expert on decorative
fabrics, but I'm not here because I'm an expert — Mayer is: he has five years
experience at retail in fabrics. He has a lot of energy and will help restore
the credibility in the market and in the product. We will restore the company's
reputation for delivery."
Mark Kahan does bring financial, legal and regulatory acumen.
Intellectual property protection "is very important. If businesses in the
21st century don't find ways to protect design, they will have problems,"
he emphasized. Relating his family retail experience to Covington, Mayer Kahan
said, "We're a roll up the sleeves type of place. We're going to stock a
lot of goods, which is the Covington reputation, and we're going to be a
fashion business — we have to be on the cutting edge and adapt to new
markets." Among these are a renewed emphasis on prints and outdoor fabrics
— "a first step."

CELLARS, WOODINVILLE WA
The winemaking philosophy at Covington Cellars has always been simple;
work with great vineyards and don’t mess it up. This belief has allowed us to

has set us apart. Since our founding in
2002 we’ve remained committed to thoughtfully making these expressive wines.
Why? Because we are truly passionate
about them - And we like making wines that most aren’t making. Today, our well-rounded portfolio includes
both single varietals as well as blends that accentuate them.
Our success here at Covington Cellars is dependent on only a few things:
great vineyard partnerships, an unwavering passion and desire to be the best,
and the daily hard work of our small team.
Our winery and tasting room is in the Warehouse Winery district of
Woodinville.
We invite you to visit us for a taste and experience our passion.

ENGINEERING CORP, IDAHO (est 1868)
Some things truly stand the test of time. When Covington Engineering, a leading
manufacturer of lapidary and glass equipment, opened its doors in 1848, James
Polk was the 11th U.S. President, the California Gold
Rush had not yet taken place, but news of the discovery of gold
in the American River was beginning to spread, and by December of 1848
President Polk would formally announce the development during his address to
Congress, and last but not least, the patent for the ice cream freezer was
filed, as well as countless other successes and challenges.
Through it all and the many more advancements, setbacks, discoveries,
conflicts, celebrations, and noted and unspoken examples of survival that have
shaped the world in the past 172 years, Covington Engineering has observed,
contributed to advancement, and continued along the path of progress. In fact,
just prior to the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company
completed one of the most significant strides in its journey, relocating from the
place of its origins, Redlands, Calif., to Meridian, Idaho.
The move, as explained by Ashlee Emoto, general manager of Covington
Engineering, will allow the company to continue doing what they love and serves
the needs of customers around the world for years to come. When asked what type
of work the team at Covington does, the response may be simple, “we are the
manufacturer of Covington equipment,” but what that encompasses is extensive.
In terms of lapidary machinery, there is a line of flat laps, grinder and polisher devices, tumblers, gem drills,
trim, and slab saw units and combination units that allow users to cut, trim,
grind, among other techniques, with a single piece of machinery. Plus,
Covington sells an assortment of supplies and tools that aid lapidaries in
their efforts to bring out the shine in geologic treasures and create unique
jewelry and art.
“We have a full machine shop to fabricate and machine our parts into the
machines our customers know and love,” Emoto said.
That commitment to quality workmanship, as well as consistent, efficient,
and mindful service to customers, employees, and community, is at the core of
what Covington does, and who they are, especially during this time in the
world’s history.
