    I'm not sure I understand the question, Tjaart.

    The SX chip was first shown at the Embedded Systems Conference
    at the beginning of October, and Microchip filed their suit just a
    few weeks later, on October 27.

    The additional misappropriation-of-trade-secrets and
    breach-of-contract complaints were filed quickly, too... Just
    two weeks after the initial filing.
