sheesh, patent https://patents.google.com/patent/US4814976A/en is a real "gem"
but its probably a good example: faulty patent (later invalidated) to do something obvious
MIPS sues a company that doesn't even implement the odd instructions because it traps them, allowing a possibility of emulation.
there's literally no case here
just to sue them into oblivion and squish them with superior cash resources. and then to get squished by ARM because they weren't paying attention.
it's like a dark fairy tale. i hate corporate lawyers.
