To clarify, AMD licensed PTSC tech on a non-exclusive basis (had to be non-exclusive due to the fact that the current patents, in litigation, have PTSC`s name and another on them, and though a partial patent holder may unilaterally license, they cannot do so on an exclusive basis. The other partial patent holder had already licensed the tech to Intel on a non-exclusive basis last summer). I had suggested this possibility/probability over the past several months, though I thought the smarter move for AMD would have been to just buy out PTSC and, if patent litigation were successful, Intel and others would be at AMD`s mercy - and AMD would easily recoup their investment. This scenario works okay. Sold my meager holdings in PTSC today for a near doubler.
