On the heels of ptsc`s PR today...could EDIG`s referenced IP partner be anybody but TPL? (also considering RP`s ``same page`` email?) Maybe, maybe not...but the thrust is the same.

First PTSC:

``With these successful license negotiations as precedent, the Company -- through its marketing alliance with The TPL Group`s Alliacense division -- is actively and confidently negotiating for licenses with other U.S. and foreign companies whose products include high speed microprocessors. More than 150 of these companies have been put on notice of likely patent infringement. These include practically every high-tech consumer electronics manufacturer and systems integrator in the global marketplace.``

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

Now EDIG:

``e.Digital further announced today that it has initiated efforts to partner with an intellectual property management company to jointly pursue monetizing the company’s patent portfolio.

“With the proliferation of flash memory based products and the increasing recording capacity of flash, we believe our patent holdings in this area are fundamental and valuable, particularly in the areas of content file management, optimal flash memory management, and in removable flash applications,” concluded Blakeley. “With the assistance of an intellectual property management partner, our strategy is to aggressively pursue licensing agreements with companies we believe have products utilizing our intellectual property.”
