Trident Microsystems, Inc.(fka TRIDQ)

I would assume the the patents yes. Its interesting how this was worded as there was a question of would they sell these two and liquidate or reorganize around their IP and become a pure licensing company.

Others thoughts on the hire:

Sunnyvale-based Meru went public in 2010, but posted the second biggest stock drop in Silicon Valley last year, losing 73.22 percent of its value and closing at $4.22 at the end of December. It closed Wednesday at $4.62, up 1 cent from Tuesday's close.

Trident was the biggest Silicon Valley loser of 2011, dropping nearly 90 percent over the course of the year.


If I was a Meru shareholder I don't think I would be excited over the hire.
