"They also have quite a bit of their own IP around that"...............................................

SanDisk Toshiba does not yet have that technology in production. And we don't know how far that's out.

They also have quite a bit of their own IP around that. So, they made a business decision that they didn't need to keep IMI's portion exclusive.

That being said, we have one of the oldest, strongest portfolios in this area and a very good capability here to demonstrate and optimize this technology for different voltage branches. Maybe you want it for ITO or microcontrollers that operated 3 volts or 5 volts or different voltage ranges or in leading-edge technologies.

So, we think our services are very valuable in this regard, and we have a very strong portfolio in that area.

So, we think it's a valuable asset. And it is, like you say, on everybody's roadmap. Now we are free to license it.
