Alan, Intel tried to have their own patent destroyed. They may proceed as you indicated but no doubt the history of Intel trying to destroy that primary patent (of their own) in order to kill 4 other patents of ours may not go over very well. No doubt if I were Intel I would challenge our patent too but for Intel, could be a double edge blade.
Let Intel ship the 2 over on a boat, slow boat because it will be a long time before we see anything concrete. As for those 2 inventors they are probably still in California, maybe sunbathing on a beach. I say that simply because who would copy our patent and try and get away with it.
Hey this could be the Alamo for us but By Golly we must act!
