This line of thought does raise one confounding issue. Intel's, AMD's and HP's customers for chips have undoubtedly been notified by TPL/Alliacense, and they KNOW whether their purchase orders contained a Patent Indemnification clause. If they didn't, it seems they'd be a bit more anxious to license.
But, again, I suppose the language used by Intel (the one PR I recall stating no admission of past/current infringement) gives them the breathing room to delay, awaiting a conclusion to the J3/ARM litigation. But they must recognize the gamble they are taking..... IF we prevail, the license cost will increase dramatically.
So I guess it just amazes me that so many are willing to accept this gamble and ride it out. But, then again, we Longs are on the flip side and are taking the same gamble, and we're all reasonably intelligent people (aren't we?! LOL Hope so!). Only difference is, it's our very own cash on the line (and not the assets of some corporation where we're sitting at the helm for the moment).
