You need to go back a few years a read up on patent law.

Individual patent holders are each individually allowed to license teh product with any obligations to the other patent holders/inventors

Originally Fish and Moore gave their rights _ignoring intermediate activities - to PTSC and TPL respectively.

Both PTSC and TPL were attemtpting to license and sue infringers and each other.

TPL sold a license to INTC and PTSC sold one to AMD. These were relatively inexpensive licenses and it was finally realized that PTSC and TPL could be a much stronger force combined and fighting only infringers rather than wasting resources and time fighting each other.

Ergo teh patents were brought together to a single patent holder - eventually to becalled

Phoenix Digital Systems- That would be a single force untied against all infringers and fight for truth justice and the American way --

G** Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!
