They've done wonders for PTSC. A different path for EDIG or will they go down a similar path to ptsc?

LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT QUESTIONED BEING ANSWERED IN THE WEEKS AHEAD.

Flash Memory Patent Portfolio

**************************

From e.Digital

"Because our flash memory-related patent portfolio covers hundreds of companies and thousands of products and extends our rights under the patents until 2015, the law firms we have contacted are being very thorough in their searches for prior art and their due diligence of our patent portfolio.

Under the direction of veteran intellectual property (IP) consultant, Pat Nunally, and with the assistance of outside law firms, we have assembled the first comprehensive list of potential licensees of our flash memory-based patent portfolio. To date, we have identified 174 companies with 1,372 products that appear to employ our patent portfolio."

Alliacense, a TPL Group entity, is responsible for the commercialization and licensing of the unified patent portfolio.

Founded in 1988, Silicon Valley based TPL Group has a solid track record in delivering a complete suite of intellectual property management services. In addition to optimizing IP Portfolio value and protecting assets from infringement, the company is also well versed in converting portfolio value into a maximum cash return for its owner(s). Through Alliacense, the TPL Group manages IP Licensing Programs across a broad array of industries.

Alliacense is a TPL Group Enterprise executing best-in-class design and implementation of intellectual property licensing programs. As a cadre of IP licensing strategists, technology experts and experienced business development/management executives, Alliacense focuses on expanding the awareness and value of TPL's intellectual property portfolios.

The patent portfolio, marketed as the Moore Microprocessor Patent Portfolio, contains intellectual property that is jointly owned by the publicly held Patriot Scientific Corporation and the privately held TPL Group. The portfolio encompasses seven U.S. patents as well as their European and Japanese counterparts. Both TPL and Patriot assert that their jointly owned patents protect techniques used in designing microprocessors, microcontrollers, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), embedded processors and System-on-Chip (SoC) implementations. Patriot Scientific and TPL believe at least three of the ten patents are elemental to virtually every microprocessor design. The three most significant of these patents are as follows:

• U.S. 5,809,336: Clocking CPU and I/O Separately
• U.S. 6,598,148: Use of Multiple Cores and Embedded Memory
• U.S. 5,784,584: Multiple Instruction Fetch

Both Patriot Scientific and The TPL Group assert that these now-unified patents, which were granted in 1998 and which don't expire until 2015, have long been essential to the design of modern high-speed microprocessors. These allied firms are currently having tremendous success maximizing the value of this patent portfolio. Global sales by potential licensees of products applying technologies protected by the jointly owned patents are estimated to be greater than $200 billion annually.
