Anyway, the J4-5 are no small, non-chip making, end users which brings more confusion (to me anyway) to what it would take to get a settlement from them. With Sony as an example... I suppose an accounting of every infringing (I assume an argument would be made as to what chips infringe and what don`t) chip that Sony makes would be needed with a market value/royalty schedule agreed upon. Then all AMD and Intel usage sifted out and valued at zero. My confusion comes now. What of the other chips used by Sony, but supplied by other, so far unlicenced, companies? Would a ``value`` be placed on these chips and ``charged`` to Sony by way of an additional end user license fee? Wouldn`t product lines still be vulnerable if TPL got an injuction against these chip providers? How can they settle and have the peace of mind that chips from say Nvida,Mips and others won`t shut down Playstation production, for example?

Do they have to pay, plus bring pressure to their suppliers to settle in order for this to work for them?joe
