To answer your first question, IMO YES. TPL used the same strategy here as they did with INTEL IMO; they put their customers on notice and let them apply pressure on INTEL to get directly involved. This time it took longer for the pressure to be felt. ARM is now part of the package, another party to the suit. Ultimately, in this current court action, ARM will be hit for all infringers they supplied IMO, with or without a PI clause.
Keep in mind that, regarding a PI clause, its inclusion in a particular contract or any contract would not be public information. Contract Files are held in strict confidence, under lock and key (and archived in vaults) as they are Company Private/Proprietary information.
FWIW,
