The concern with the granting of an MMP license to GreenArrays/Moore seems unfounded. Perhaps I am mistaken, but GreenArrays is not the first chip designer / manufacturer that has received a license to the MMP. As such, (I think) there are chips out there right now, and have been out there for a while, that companies can purchase which are being made and sold under an MMP license. And since GreenArrays will not be the first chip manufacturer to offer a chip for sale that already includes an MMP license, I'm not sure where the "throat-slitting" comes into play. (Granted, I am assuming that GreenArrays' chip will not become - within the relevant patent time frames - *substantially* more successful than the chips being sold by companies that alreaedy licensed the MMP, which, if I remember correctly, includes really big chip manufacturing companies like Intel).

Instead, it seems (to me, anyway) that the companies we are going after are those that did NOT purchase products from chip manufacturers who have already licensed the MMP (even though they have long had the opportunity to do so) - in other words, companies that specifically wanted to and did design their own chips. For example, Apple custom designs the CPU of the iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch etc (I think that line is the "A5", "A5X", "A6" etc). I'm guessing Amazon does the same with the Kindle. And Barnes and Noble with the Nook. We (apparently) went after Apple and we are (clearly) now going after Amazon and B&N. If you look at the other companies we've sued (and that have sued us), they seem to fall into this same category - namely they have chips that were not made and sold under an existing MMP license.

Again, my insights and $2.20 will get you a small coffee at Starbucks, so please take all of the above with a huge grain of salt.
