Well over a year ago the question was whether or not Intel and possibly hundreds of other companies had infringed on the 336 patent. At the time Intel publicly stated and more importantly stated to the court, flat out that they did not infringe the 336 patent, in fact Intel asked the court for declamatory judgment to that effect. Just several months later on June 28th 2004 Intel signed the licensing agreement with Moore/TPL allowing Intel a worldwide license to make, have made, use, license, distribute and sell Intel products that practice the U.S. 5,809,336 Patent. Infringement: past present and future has been proved. The day they (Intel/Moore) signed this licensing agreement, they effectively shifted all the weight to the ownership case currently being heard before the Honorable Judge Fogel.

Patriot Scientific adds Intel to suit.
Feb. 2, 2004 Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy direct quote - "They had sued five of our customers," Mulloy said. "As we read [the suits], it became clear to us that our microprocessors don't infringe. So rather than wait for them to possibly sue us, we filed in the Northern District of California seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement." Feb 11, 2004 Patriot Scientific adds Intel to its legal fight against five PC vendors. " From the time the patents were issued, the company estimates that over $150 billion dollars worth of microprocessors have made use of Patriot Scientific's technology." http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3311751

Dec 8, 2004 Patriot Scientific learns of a license agreement dated June 28, 2004 between Intel Corporation and Charles H. Moore (Moore), TPL Micro Ltd. (TPL Micro) and Technology Properties Ltd. (TPL)(Moore, TPL Micro Ltd. and TPL are collectively the licensors). This agreement provides Intel with, among other things, a non-exclusive, irrevocable, non-terminable, worldwide license to make, have made, use, license, distribute and sell Intel products that practice the U.S. 5,809,336 Patent.

IMO -- Intel declares to the world and the Court that they do not infringe the 336 then turn around and sign a contract in complete contradiction to their previous statements and Court filings. An obvious attempt to circumvent Justice and exploit a loophole in a back parlor deal adding to the long list of poor business ethics practiced by Intel. http://www.faceintel.com/ http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1998/06/intelc.htm http://www.theregister.co.uk/1999/04/16/intel_bang_to_rights/ Justice is the relentless pursuit of truth. Higgins testimony is the truth. PTSC wants this testimony in as evidence and Intel/Moore & CO do not. What does that tell you?
