TSMC invests $65M in Tela!?!?!?!!

Nice business development deal by Tela Innovations, I remember visiting their booth at DAC a few years ago and blogging about it.

I first met Dhrumil Gandhi at Silicon Compilers back in the 1980's, a very smart technology guy.

Tela Innovations has fewer than 50 employees, so this one investment is worth more than $1M per employee, now that's a nice sum, well done.
 
How is TSMC involved with the litigation if Tela named the patent respondents as: HTC Corporation, LG Electronics, Motorola Mobility, Nokia and Pantech?
 
Ok, that makes sense now. Very strange that Tela has this essential power-reduction technology and litho-optimized FinFET standard cell libraries used by TSMC, but that it took a lawsuit to get TSMC to pay up fully.
 
This kind of thing seems to happen a lot in our industry. One notable example was the lawsuit by Cadence against CCT for using 'private' API's in SKILL to develop an 'unauthorized' tool integration. Ultimately Cadence and CCT came to terms and Cadence actually acquired CCT. Their routing technology became key technology for Cadence routing solutions.
