Shboomer: you bring up an interesting point, but I believe Ron's version to be more applicable. Some might remember years ago. Some genius in ptsc decided to give much of our product information to that japanese consortium to incorporate our designs in their products. Anybody can guess where that went. Of course we had patent protection.

TPL the man we love to hate is going after product manufacturers that incorporate arm cores made by companies such as qualcomm. Presently snapdragon by qualcomm is the chip to beat. Unfortunately intel has a new atom chip and now developing relationships with zte asus and lenovo. We all know how quickly technology changes. Apple was king maybe still is, but samsung seems to be moving quickly. The pressure is on arm and chip manufacturers such as qualcomm ti etc. The difference between the arm core chips and intel atom is minimal. That said. I believe tpl has an ally. intel, to bring armcore manufactures to the table quickly to resolve all disputes.

Intel inside no patent infringement.
