SGE,
Since you are our resident contract man.....could the MOU contain wording that would cover going after both, chip manufacturers and 2nd tier companies??? or am I all wet here and somewhere out in left field with these thoughts???
For instance, TPL/PTSC vs J's could have stipulated in the MOU that if the judgement in LG vs. Quanta case is rendered such that 2nd tier companies can not be held accountable for infringement, then 1st tier infringers will pay more for licenses, hence, J3 will have to pay more.
If judgement in LG/Q is stated so that 2nd tier companies can be held accountable for infringement, then J3 only pays what is already accounted for in the 10Q and TPL/PTSC go after 2 tier companies thus avoid 'charging' full price on the J3.
