There may be more to this misunderstanding. My (mis?) understanding is that TPL and PTSC share specific patents, but there are more patents held by PTSC that are outside the purvue of the TPL agreement, e.g., ignite/inflame and perhaps some old shboom. If TPL utilizes these PTSC-only held patented techs in a new chip, they will indeed owe fees and royalties to PTSC. But you can bet they`d get pretty good terms.

Even if the above is incorrect, I would think that, since there is a teaming agreement between TPL and PTSC regarding those patents, that PTSC would be owed something from the separate TPL controlled entity based only on the shared MMP patents.

This may be pure speculation and I`m open to correction, cuz I KNOW nuttin`!
