Correction/clarification (details): I said "What I'm getting at is that Ron suggested that if there are Patent Indemnification clauses in all their (NEC's) contracts, the party given notice (NEC) stays in the litigation cycle as a defendent until it's conclusion, then passes liabilities (or sues) the true infringer (ARM) to recover damages". Actually, I believe it's more like the infringer is given notice, is non-responsive and is therefore sued by the patent holder, keeping them in the litigation even though the ultimate infringer is their (technology) supplier (ARM). Being merely given notice is not the same is being sued, it's an invitation to talk. No talk? You're hereby served.
