<Claim 1 covers systems but 3,4,5,8 cover circuits with intergrated circuits removed don't that cut the patent in half at best? >
Nice catch, but I really don't think it matters since it is not possible to have a microprocessor system w/o an integrated circuit. The 336 patent has always been about microprocessor systems not integrated circuits. Nothing has been lost. IMHO
