CARLSBAD, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PTSC - News) today announced that Chairman and CEO David H. Pohl has notified them of his intent to retire from the position of chief executive officer as soon as a new CEO is appointed. He will continue to serve as chairman of the board.
