22nd April, back to the grind!

On March 8, 2005, Judge Jeremy Fogel, United States District Judge for the Northern District of California, issued an order that denied the Company from introducing Willis E. Higgins' testimony and disqualified the Company's New York and California counsels from representing the Company in Case Number C 04-0618 JF, Patriot Scientific Corporation v. Charles H. Moore, et al. The order was granted as a result of Mr. Higgins prior legal representation of Mr. Moore during the initial filing of a patent application in 1989.

A case management conference with Judge Fogel is scheduled for April 22, 2005. The Company is currently reviewing its options which include: 1) retaining alternate counsel and presenting the facts of the case before Judge Fogel without Mr. Higgins' testimony, 2) requesting Judge Fogel to reconsider the order, and 3) filing for a review of the order with the Federal Circuit Court.
