Yep. The clause is not patent-specific, it`s a ``blanket``. Again, when you enter a contract, you must assume that there are no infringement issues (or why would you enter the contract?). The clause is insurance ``just in case``.

Remember, these patents have been infringed for many years, and ``noise`` has only been made recently. This may actually work in our favor.

Think of it this way: if you were buying product from a company for several years, and paying a premium for inclusion of this ``insurance`` clause, and there were never any issues, would you continue to pay that premium?

Anology: you live on a high hill in the desert. When you bought the house, you also bought flood insurance. Virtually no rain. Why am I continuing to pay for flood insurance?

Ergo, there may still be a lot of ARM customers we can go after. Just as we can go after INTEL`s/AMD`s customers if this clause is not in their contracts. Remember, no clause, liability is, in the end, shared (though, in the cases of INTEL/AMD, INTEL and AMD have already legally ``paid their share``).
