They are certainly filing patents regarding digital sensors. However, making them 
themselves make perhaps even less sense than starting making their own film, their own 
electronic parts etc. Most manufacturers rely on a host of subcontractors that are 
specialists in their own field. Pentax is better off spending their resources on 
developing cameras. Although Canon makes their own digital sensors they probably will 
be at a disadvantage if they stick to their own only while the competiotion can choose 
from the offerings of various electronic giants.
