From the ptsc article out today:

``AMD was the first company to license the MMP portfolio in February 2005. The terms of the licensing were undisclosed and at the time AMD announced it had taken an undisclosed stake in Patriot Scientific. Intel licensed the MMP portfolio in July 2005 and HP signed up in January 2006.

Patriot and TPL came together in June 2005 to settle a long-standing patent dispute between the two parties so they could pursue third parties. The TPL Group (Cupertino, Calif.) has been granted full responsibility and authority for the commercialization and licensing of a unified portfolio of ten patents.

Prior to that Patriot had been pursuing many major Japanese systems companies for alleged patent infringement but without success.``
