Note Regarding Settlement from CEO Jim Turley
Shareholders are advised that the following is the only information that will be provided by Patriot Scientific Corporation regarding the resolution of the Texas (and California) litigation that had been pending regarding the MMP portfolio patents subject to the dispute:
Patriot Scientific Corporation, its directors, officers and employees are obligated to observe the confidentiality provisions of the settlements and will limit any comments or statements solely to references to the wording of the joint press release or statements that matters between the parties to the litigation have been settled.
This settlement occurred during Patriot's current financial quarter, which ends February 28, 2008, and for which financial reports will be due for filing with the SEC by the second week of April, 2008. Information applicable to this settlement will be included in those reports to the extent required of the company, yet consistent with the confidentiality restrictions imposed by the settlement pursuant to guidance from Patriot's professional legal and accounting advisors.
In addition, consistent with applicable securities laws and Patriot's insider-trading policy, the company's directors, officers, employees and consultants who have knowledge of the terms of settlement are restricted from trading in PTSC shares until after the company's quarterly financial reports are publicly filed next April.
We realize that our shareholders may expect that the details of the settlement should be made available to them, or that Patriot's board and management might provide at least general comments or further press releases on the subject. We understand this and would do so if permitted, but in order to honor our legal commitments regarding confidentiality, we have said all we can say.

down to ~.65 .. looks like the big after-news sale is over. not to say that selling is over.. but it did make a higher low intraday.
i'm watching it this afternoon, see what kinda EOD vibe we get.. could be an entry point below .70
my system shows .776, .658, .632, .581 as congestion zones (but that's off of daily data, not intraday..) so if it keeps going down, these might be support levels.

Maker of Test Equipment a Recent Spin-off from Agilent
CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec 21, 2007 -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTCBB:PTSC) announced today that Verigy Ltd. has purchased a Moore Microprocessor Patent(TM) (MMP) Portfolio license. Verigy is a premier automated test equipment (ATE) company with two decades of heritage in semiconductor testing.
"Verigy occupies an important position in the overall semiconductor industry," said Jim Turley, president and CEO of Patriot Scientific. "As chips get more complex, it becomes harder to verify they work properly, and Verigy's 1500+ employees make sure that our industry runs smoothly."
"This agreement is in the best interests of Verigy, its shareholders and customers because it removes the possibility of supply-chain disruptions," said Mike Davis, senior vice president, Licensing for Alliacense, Patriot Scientific's licensing partner. "A strong wave of interest from companies selling microprocessor-based products has propelled the MMP Portfolio licensing program to the next level, as over 45% of license signings have followed the favorable Markman ruling issued earlier this summer."
The sweeping scope of applications using MMP Portfolio design techniques continues to encourage the world's leading manufacturers of end user products from around the globe to become MMP Portfolio licensees. Since January 2006 over 30 global companies from the US, Europe, Japan, Korea and Taiwan have purchased MMP Portfolio licenses.

News for 'PTSC' - (Patriot Scientific Corporation Announces Three Purchases of Moore Microprocessor Patent(TM) Portfolio Licenses)
CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct 05, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PTSC) announced today three new MMP(TM) Portfolio licensees less than three weeks after the USPTO announced its decision to affirm the validity of US'336, the most widely recognized patent in the MMP Portfolio. The new licensees include Harman International, TPV Technology, and Textron Inc., and will result in both upfront and future payments.
The agreements follow a string of successes in the reexamination of the MMP Portfolio(TM) patents by the USPTO and German Patent Court. In the past 9 months, the German Patent Court affirmed the validity of EP'730, and the USPTO has affirmed the validity of both US'584 and most recently US'336.
Despite the risk of willful infringement in cases where companies delay licensing decisions on the basis of reexams, companies have been awaiting the outcome of US'336 and are now reengaging in licensing discussions in light of the escalating royalty rate structure of the MMP Portfolio(TM) Licensing Program.
Harman Industries is a worldwide leader in the manufacture of high-quality, high-fidelity audio and electronic products for automotive, consumer and professional use. TPV Technology is a leading display solution provider, specializing in design and production of a wide spectrum of desktop monitors and LCD TVs. Textron Inc. is one of the world's best known multi-industry companies, consisting of numerous subsidiaries and operating units and known by familiar brand names, including Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft, Greenlee and E-Z-GO, among others.
The MMP Portfolio patents cover techniques that enable higher performance and lower cost designs, and are fundamental to consumer and commercial digital systems ranging from DVD players, cell phones and portable music players to communications infrastructure, medical equipment and automobiles, which today have dozens of microprocessor-based features and benefits.
