Well, no it doesn't help me at all. My guess is that you are inferring that there is a good deal of gray area/wiggle room for MMP infingers. If so, I take issue with that.

We don't have a patent on buttons or button holes or anything that mundane. If someone is infringing on the 148, it will be clear as day. If they are not, that too will be clear as day. Same for the 336. IMHO, there isn't any gray area with respect to infringement on these. The 584 is more tricky, but this is why ARM comes into play. Infringement of the 584 was/is/may still be in the technology that is supplied to their licensees. May not have to inspect the chip, just what is already in the technology transfer document.

Now I haven't looked at the other patents with respect to how much gray area/wiggle room there is for infringers, but we only need the 336 to lave a successful icensing program.

Perhaps you can respond with more specificity as to how your post applies to our situation. Thanks. Opty
