Amiga Inc doesn't own rights to Amiga custom chips?

First I heard of this! Maybe someone should dial up Jack Tramiel?

Commodore responded by launching the even better Amiga, which was the ultimate games machine, but eventually, both companies ended up producing IBM PC clones (there was a very nasty dispute about who owned the Amiga chips, because Jack did a deal with the designers, but they took the view he'd been wearing his Commodore hat when they signed).

I know the Atari-Amiga history, but this is Tramiel specific. I never heard in the Atari story about a battle over custom chip rights.
