Licenses, Patents, Trade Secrets and Other Proprietary Rights

We rely on a combination of patents, copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, software security measures, license agreements and nondisclosure agreements to protect our proprietary technologies. Our policy is to seek the issuance of patents that we consider important to our business to protect inventions and technology that support our microprocessor technology and other lines of business.

We have seven U.S. patents issued dating back to 1989 on our microprocessor technology. We have one microprocessor technology patent issued in five European countries and one patent issued in Japan. These patents in the U.S and overseas are currently set to expire between 2012 and 2015. We may file additional applications under international treaties depending on an evaluation of the costs and anticipated benefits that may be obtained by expanding possible patent coverage. In addition, we have one U.S. patent issued on ground-penetrating radar technology and one U.S. patent issued on one of the communications products.

In addition to such factors as innovation, technological expertise and experienced personnel, we believe that a strong patent position is becoming increasingly important to compete effectively in the semiconductor industry. It may become necessary or desirable in the future for us to obtain patent and technology licenses from other companies relating to technology that may be employed in future products or processes. To date, we have not received notices of claimed infringement of patents based on our existing processes or products but, due to the nature of the industry, we may receive such claims in the future.

We have one U.S. patent on our ground-penetrating radar technology, which is currently set to expire in 2011. No foreign application has been made. There are a large number of patents owned by others in the radar field generally and in the field of ground-penetrating radar specifically. Accordingly, although we are not aware of any possible infringement and have not received any notices of claimed infringement, we may receive such claims in the future.

In November, 2004, we filed a patent application for “Remote Power Charging of Electronic Devices” with assignment to Patriot Scientific Corporation.

During fiscal 2009, we finalized an agreement with NuPower Semiconductor whereby we became co-assignees of a total of seven U.S. patents (five of which had issued and two of which had notices of allowance) related to power management for microprocessor based systems. The agreement is effective until November 30, 2010. The assignment was final in fiscal 2010 with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) following the final issuance of the remaining two patents. These patents are currently set to expire between 2026 and 2029.

There can be no assurance that any patents will be issued from pending or future applications or that any patents that are issued will provide meaningful protection or other commercial advantages to us. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful.

We generally require all of our employees and consultants, including our management, to sign a non-disclosure and invention assignment agreement upon employment with us.
