    Yeah, Tom, but I was talking only about Microchip's "breach of
    contract" complaint against Parallax.

    Microchip's NDA just says that "Recipient's duty to hold
    Confidential Information in confidence expires on (date)". I'm
    no lawyer, but _I_ interpret that paragraph to mean that the
    information can be disclosed after the Agreement expires...
    Although USE of the information may still be prohibited by
    patents, etc.
