offical news now:
Patriot Scientific Announces Breakthrough Patent Licensing Agreement with Fujitsu
Thursday March 2, 9:02 am ET 
Fujitsu Joins Global Giants HP, Casio, Intel and AMD in Recognizing Need to License MMP(TM) Core Microprocessor Technologies


SAN DIEGO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2006--Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PTSC.OB - News) today announced that Fujitsu Limited has become the latest global system manufacturer to purchase a license to use intellectual property protected by the Moore Microprocessor Patent(TM) (MMP) Portfolio. Patriot and The TPL Group are co-owners of the MMP Portfolio, which is being exclusively managed by Alliacense, a TPL Group enterprise. This license represents a settlement of patent disputes between Fujitsu and the owners of the MMP Portfolio.
In striking this licensing agreement, Fujitsu joins Casio, Hewlett-Packard, AMD and Intel in licensing Patriot's core patents impacting virtually every microprocessor manufactured since 1994. Casio struck its licensing deal last month, HP signed a licensing agreement in January, and both AMD and Intel negotiated licenses in 2005. Terms of the Fujitsu license were not disclosed.

Fujitsu had been one of four major Japanese electronics manufacturers against whom broad-based patent infringement claims had been filed last October by The TPL Group in the Federal District Court of East Texas on behalf of the MMP Portfolio. Today's announcement further substantiates the need for modern system manufacturers to secure MMP Portfolio licenses to cover the entire spectrum of their digital product lines.

"This major licensing agreement -- the third in just over a month -- marks yet another confirmation of the significance of the patents we jointly own." said Patriot's Chairman and CEO David Pohl. "We are pleased that this decision by Fujitsu represents yet another notable step in our ongoing effort to realize the monetary value of our portfolio for the benefit of our Company and ultimately our shareholders."

"The Fujitsu, Intel, AMD, HP and Casio licensing agreements set a strong precedent for more than 150 other high tech manufacturers that were notified in 2004 that they were infringing upon our patents and were invited to obtain appropriate licenses," Pohl noted.

"Our Licensing Program rewards first movers in their industry sectors with substantial discounts," said Mac Leckrone, President of Alliacense. "By design, our licensing structure enables nimble and forward-thinking system manufacturers to disadvantage their competitors." He confirmed that Alliacense has contacted hundreds of system manufacturers around the globe, and that competition for early-round licensing berths in key market sectors has become intense.

According to Leckrone, whose firm exclusively markets the MMP Patent Portfolio on behalf of Patriot Scientific, the broad range of system-level digital products exploiting MMP Portfolio design techniques is extensive. In addition to computers and related hardware, consumer electronic products ranging from televisions, digital cameras and portable music players, high-tech medical equipment, office automation products, aerospace and even automotive electronics systems are all designed with multiple semiconductor devices that use MMP Portfolio technologies.

"Once digital hardware vendors recognize their broad reliance on the intellectual property protected by the MMP Portfolio, they appreciate the critical need to secure continued access to the fundamental MMP technologies," Leckrone noted. "System-level coverage is essential to maintaining product design freedom and avoiding supply-chain disruptions."

Patriot's Dramatic Turn-Around Continues

"This strategically significant licensing agreement with Fujitsu further validates our confidence in the superb Alliacense team of licensing professionals. The financial benefits we have realized as a result of their Olympic-quality representation have made a major contribution to the fiscal strengthening of Patriot Scientific," said Pohl.

Patriot Scientific's market cap reached a level of $364.14 million as of the close of trading on March 1, 2006 -- having soared upward from $25 million in just over a month.

Last month, Patriot Scientific announced it would retire all outstanding debentures -- along with the signing of an agreement giving it the option to buy back what could amount to up to approximately 20 percent of the Company's total outstanding stock warrants. Additionally -- in an action which is virtually unprecedented among microcap stocks -- Patriot announced that it would pay a cash dividend of $.02 per share to shareholders and qualified warrant holders of record as of February 24, 2006. This payment will be issued on March 22, 2006.


Until mid-2005, Patriot had never before shown a quarterly profit, and had never before realized significant revenue from its seminal microprocessor innovations. However, in the past year, the Company's jointly owned patent portfolio has been successfully licensed - through its marketing alliance with The TPL Group's Alliacense division - to Intel, HP and AMD. These first licensing agreements have generated disbursements to Patriot of more than $25 million. Revenues from the recent Casio and Fujitsu licenses have not yet been disclosed.

After opening high in the market, it is sliding downwards. Will it fill the gap or something else? Any TA appreciated. Also, the bid/ask orders have decreased considerably to 500. Is it share price affect or people interested in selling/buying low amount of shares?

Lucas Scott

I am out now - sold at $1.45. Could go either way IMO. A little disappointed because this morning when it was in the mid-1.50's with a high of 1.62 I thought we might see $2 tomorrow. Wishful thinking!  Oh well I can't complain about a 45% gain from my purchase yesterday morning. GLTA!
GO IN THAT HOUSE OF PAIN THAT YOU SEEM TO WANT TO BE IN, BUT GET AWAY FROM ME.  I'M TRYING TO WORK, DAMMIT.

I read the following on some trader blog ( not a message board).

You may have noticed that MODAR has been all over Patriot Scientific Corp PTSC since the beginning of the year and as a consequence have racked up some impressive cumulative gains in this issue, potentially rendering it our stock of the year for now. What actually drew us to this issue was Hawk Associates www.hawkassociates.com as we were originally drawn to them by the number of issues they represent, consistently showing up on our Momentum Radar that is MODAR, but in particular because of the stunning volumes we have seen become evident over time in a number of their profiled companies. Unfortunately we missed the very lowest entry point on PTSC as it sneaked higher in a rather stealthy fashion, before it suddenly leapt higher on staggering volumes. Most of this past week and in particular yesterday, the money inflows have been almost unprecedented for a stock of this nature and price range for an OTC BB Company which yesterday had an astonishingly high Dollar $Volume of 47,770.159 on a stunning 10,648 trades reaching a very big market cap of $426.61. There's something pretty big going on at PTSC that's not unlike our call on AMPEX Corp 15 months ago, which soared by more than 900% in one of our best recommendations of 2004. We are going to elaborate more on PTSC this weekend which we think could go to $5 plus...

The heart of patent litigation darkness -- Sh-boom, sh-boom, computer industry goes ka-boom.
Andrew Leonard

Mar. 07, 2006 | An unseemly piece of gloating arrived in How the World Works' mailbox today, from an outfit called Patriot Scientific Corp. The e-mail started off by citing the $612 million settlement agreed to last Friday between RIM, the makers of the BlackBerry communications device, and NTP, a small software company that had sued RIM for patent infringement.

But that's nothing compared to what Patriot was about to extract from the entire world's computer industry, crowed the e-mail. Patriot "co-owns and markets core microprocessor architecture technology patents which affects every computer manufactured since 1994 and semiconductors which run faster than 120 MHz.

"The $612 million settlement last week will seem small compared to more than 150 computer/semiconductor manufacturers and consumer electronics companies worldwide now being sued or put on notice for industry wide patent infringement that is validated by recent licensing or court settlements by Intel, AMD, HP, Casio and last week Fujitsu."

Ah, the sweet smell of patent litigation in the morning. Does anything make one prouder to be an American? There are few things that How the World Works enjoys more than highlighting the good old-fashioned ingenuity and old school know-how involved with a sweeping patent infringment lawsuit, so we decided to look into the story and see what was really going on. What we found, in just a couple of eye-opening hours, was a twisty maze of patent lawsuits that tells you more than you probably wanted to know about the cutting edge of American high-tech capitalism.

The story dates back to the late 1980s, when two Silicon Valley engineers, Russell Fish III, of Mountain View, and "Chuck" Moore, of Woodside, applied for a sequence of patents to a set of related semiconductor designs that they dubbed the "Sh-Boom" microprocessor. But as is so often the case, Moore (who was already famous for writing the bulk of the Forth computer programming language) and Fish failed to turn their processor into a commercially viable product.

In 1991 Fish sold his interest in the patents to a venture capitalist named Helmut Falk. Falk's company, Nanotronics, spent a few million unsuccessfully trying to commercialize the technology, and then sold out to San Diego company Patriot Scientific in 1994.

Patriot Scientific was excited because one of the patents at issue appeared to lay claim to technology that would enable any microprocessor to operate at speeds faster than 120 megaherz. (Your typical Pentium or AMD chip now runs at least 10 or 20 times as fast as that.) The intellectual property represented by the patents, according to one observer, was "a patent litigator's dream." In 2003-04 Patriot started suing companies left and right, receiving a special assist from a licensing deal agreed to by Silicon Valley's No. 2 chipmaker, AMD, which may have been looking to open up a flank attack on Intel. Intel promptly responded by preemptively suing Patriot, which immediately countersued Intel.

So far, so good -- typical Valley shenanigans. But here comes the twist: You see, both Moore and Fish had been assigned ownership of the original patents, and Moore had not sold his interest to Nanotronics/Patriot. He had turned to another company, the aptly named Technology Properties Limited, and assigned his interest to them. Intel promptly agreed to license the disputed technology from TPL, driving Patriot into paroxysms of suspicion.

Next step: TPL and Patriot sue each other. Patriot tries to argue that Fish really was the one who came up with the key processor-speed patent, but by mid-2005 a San Diego judge doesn't seem to be buying the theory.

In short order, Patriot's CEO is asked to resign by its board, and the company cuts a deal with TPL, agreeing to split revenue from all future patent litigation, but giving TPL sole authority to manage the intellectual property. Now, having joined together, and with both Intel and AMD already having safely bought licenses, the consolidated patent holders are free to turn their attention to suing everybody and anybody in the world who integrates a microprocessor that goes past a certain speed into their products. And in the last month, after a few hardware companies agreed to buy licenses to the technology, Patriot's market capitalization surged from around $25 million to $600 million.

Patriot Scientific doesn't appear to ever have produced much of anything, besides a revolving door of CEOs and a generally unsuccessful record of litigation. But the company is mighty proud now to be holding the rest of the industy at gunpoint. Meanwhile, rather than spend millions in litigation, Casio, HP, and Fujitsu are buying peace of mind.

There's something about this business plan that reminds us more of "The Sopranos" than the kind of entrepreneurial innovation American technology start-ups are supposed to be famous for. Who knows what might have happened if all the money spent on lawyers was poured into research and development of new chip designs? But hey, a buck is a buck, right? Sh-boom. Sh-boom.

hey dhiraj19 - I saw that article this morning too and posted it at G's Place. I believe the Patent Office will eventually overturn PTSC's patents. The technology is too ubiquitous for one company to claim exclusive ownership of it.

I think we saw the top today.

I made good money on this stock.  :)

I am looking in the stock more from technology perspective fight because I am a techie and innovator myself. Patents have been granted and endorsed by Intel and AMD. So x86 market has been influenced there. Its unfortunate for the patent innovator that his patents are owned by public trading company and hence investors, which make his wealth go up and down. If there are more press releases about some other system manufacturers coming, their endorsement gives ammunition to PTSC to extract money out of other manufacturers. When will money come, how much will come and why will it come is crux of stock price? If another PR happens tomorrow we'll see this go through to the top of today otherwise it'll slide.

Elite and you all know technically more about stock movements, so I trade shares rather than fall in love with them.

But technology story is intact. One of things which happened last year was TPL and PTSC coming together to share royalty, so that take as much as possible rather fighting with each other and loosing valuable time of licencing.
They got the endorsements from AMD and Intel for cheap. AMD also has invested in the company during settlement. They must have seen something which is worth investing.

Tell me any good entry points as it is down today to 1.85 now and was at 1.75 some time ago.

It has fallen more around 1.40 now... Is it good time to buy again to make some money on it after steep fall?
