The Cell CPU was developed by a partnership of Sony, Toshiba and IBM.
I would imagine IBM with it's hoards of patents can find one that Parallel infringe on.
If anything I would say that someone in the UK (transputer patent holder?) has a right to see, after all, we had this multiple cores linked via a communication bus malarkey in the 1980s.
