The follwing patent, albeit published 5 years ago, is an Atmel patent, which cites 2 of GT's patents: https://www.google.com.ar/patents/US7723198. I had seen this previously, but glossed over it. Then I recalled Apple's decision to lease a property in the valley, where they have chosen a space, previously occupied by Atmel: http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2015/07/09/exclusiveapple-signs-major-lease-in-north-san-jose.html. Then throw in the following article: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/02/15/does-atmel-have-what-apple-needs.aspx. Thoughts? Monk
