Thanks for setting me straight. I was looking at the PTSC site and read that they confirmed a deal with Intel in June 2005 (perhaps that's just the date of the press release and not when the deal was signed?) and didn't go back further to where it says Schboom was licenced by AMD in February....only the June mention of AMD....my bad. I guess that's why you're a president and I'm in the mailroom.

Is the Schboom tech the same as the MMP portfolio or just a part of it?

I cannot say who might be accumulating but it's just a hunch that makes sense to me FWIW. If you were to hazard a guess it probably would be better than mine.

Isn't the 18 months you mention for the reex due this August?

Thanks for your continued input. I think I'll go back to keeping an eye on the USPTO updates and not jump in over my head.
