August - September 2009. The USPTO indicates it will issue a Reexamination Certificate for the US'336 "Dual Asynchronous Clock" patent, ending reexaminations filed by NEC, Toshiba, and the Public Patent Foundation; while rejecting another attempted attack by litigant HTC.
July 2009. The USPTO issues a Reexamination Certificate for the US'584 "Multiple Instruction Fetch" patent over the reexaminations filed by litigants NEC and Toshiba.
