I am informed and believe that Patriot felt the same way: Patriot filed a Santa
Clara County Superior Court action against TPL. Patriot settled that action with an adjustment
of the MMP portfolio license fees that TPL had received from the major Silicon Valley
electronics firm. Upon information and belief, those fees now totaled some $960,000 (still a
fraction of what an MMP portfolio license should have yielded, but better than the fractional
portion of the license fee that had initially been assigned as the MMP portfolio share).
