Unfortunately, I do believe we know all there is to know about the settlement. If there was a great behind the scenes business deal with the J-3, I would think the officers would still be under a trade restrictions.
Corrections welcome!
On December 18, 2007 all remaining parties to the litigation announced that a resolution was reached in the patent infringement lawsuits. The terms of the settlement included the grant by TPL of rights under the Moore Microprocessor Patent Portfolio to NEC Electronics America, Toshiba, Matsushita and JVC and their respective subsidiaries in the form of license agreements. The parties have agreed that the details of the settlement are confidential.
Be well
