Dow Jones Description

Patriot Scientific was founded in 1987 with technologies applicable for DoD (U.S. Department of Defense) applications. In 1994 Patriot Scientific Corp. (PTSC) developed a unique 32-bit microprocessor architecture that evolved into the IGNITE I and IGNITE II . In 2001, Patriot Scientific began offering the "core" of its microprocessor chip in the form of licensable intellectual property (IP) so that other companies could develop their own Ignite-based products. As microprocessor designs matured, it became clear that Patriot Scientific's patented microprocessor technology was setting the standard for efficient low-cost and low-power computing. The company again evolved from design and manufacturing into a powerful holding company with global licensing opportunities in the $200+ billion microprocessor end-use market. In 2005, Patriot Scientific unified its patent portfolio with The TPL Group, creating the Moore Microprocessor Patent (MMP) Portfolio that collectively strengthening the company's intellectual property coverage that is elemental to nearly every microprocessor design. This unified portfolio is well positioned for significant global licensing opportunities. Intel, AMD, and Hewlett Packard were among the very first licensees of the MMP portfolio, a group that now includes more than 30 global corporations. The TPL Group is exclusively responsible for the ongoing commercialization and licensing of the unified patent portfolio.
