Patriot Scientific

Patriot Scientific is a leading intellectual-property licensing company that develops, markets, and enables innovative technologies that satisfy the demands of fast-growing markets for wireless devices, smart cards, home appliances, network gateways, set-top boxes, entertainment technology, automotive telematics, biomedical devices, industrial controllers and more. Headquartered in Carlsbad, Calif., information about the company can be found at http://www.ptsc.com

Patriot Scientific (PTSCE.OB) and The TPL Group have unified their interests in a portfolio of ten fundamental microprocessor patents that are at the heart of a global $200 billion-plus microprocessor end-use market. The unification was achieved through a joint venture established via agreements entered into between Patriot Scientific and TPL in June 2005. Patriot and TPL each own 50% of the joint venture and share in the proceeds of licensing activities as distributed by the joint venture pursuant to the agreements. Alliacense, a TPL Group entity, is responsible for the commercialization and licensing of the unified patent portfolio.

The patent portfolio, marketed as the Moore Microprocessor Patent Portfolio, contains intellectual property that is jointly owned by the publicly held Patriot Scientific Corporation and the privately held TPL Group. The portfolio encompasses seven U.S. patents as well as their European and Japanese counterparts. Both TPL and Patriot assert that their jointly owned patents protect techniques used in designing microprocessors, microcontrollers, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), embedded processors and System-on-Chip (SoC) implementations. Patriot Scientific and TPL believe at least three of the ten patents are elemental to virtually every microprocessor design. The three most significant of these patents are as follows:

U.S. 5,809,336: Clocking CPU and I/O Separately
U.S. 6,598,148: Use of Multiple Cores and Embedded Memory
U.S. 5,784,584: Multiple Instruction Fetch

Both Patriot Scientific and The TPL Group assert that these now-unified patents, which were granted in 1998 and which don't expire until 2015, have long been essential to the design of modern high-speed microprocessors. These allied firms are currently having tremendous success maximizing the value of this patent portfolio. Global sales by potential licensees of products applying technologies protected by the jointly owned patents are estimated to be greater than $200 billion annually.

THE OUTLOOK

Over 220 of an estimated 485 companies placed on written notice for likely infringement on one or more patents in the portfolio have engaged in communications with the company's licensing team. After allocation for expenses, Patriot saw over $48 million in one-time licensing fees from the portfolio in calendar year 2006.
