According to a friend of mine who is a student of the tales of David Sarnoff, this is only the tip

The entire personal computer industry was built on playing fast and loose with intellectual

operations as opposed to selling more dreams to investors. Each of these companies has a team of
lawyers going over exactly what technology each owns and what might be done about the massive
levels of patent infringement that exist everywhere.
