From fs post:
Because of sales by Philips of TriMedia microprocessors in the U.S., Technology Properties and Patriot Scientific in the past offered to settle for USD 22 million but did not want to substantiate their case. Philips refused the offer and is of the opinion that its microprocessors did not infringe the patents involved.
This is for the microprocessors unit of Philips. Then:
Tpl wants money from: Because the patents pertain to microprocessor technology, Philips Consumer Electronics and Philips Medical Systems are requesting indemnification from their suppliers, including Philips Semiconductors.
This is the best test to see if fees are going up.
