Patriot Scientific Reaffirms Engagement of Agility IP Law

CARLSBAD, Calif., June 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTCBB: PTSC) today announced that its joint-venture entity Phoenix Digital Solutions (PDS) has reaffirmed representation by Agility IP Law, LLP in pursuit of infringers of the Moore Microprocessor Patent (MMP) Portfolio™.

"I am extremely pleased that we have solidified our relationship with Agility," stated Carlton Johnson, Patriot's representative to PDS.  "Agility was instrumental in our patent infringement win against HTC Corporation, and we look forward to continuing that success against other infringers".

Proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging infringement of Patriot's '749, '890 and '336 patents against Barnes & Noble Inc., Garmin Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., LG Electronics, Nintendo Co. Ltd., Novatel Wireless Inc., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., and ZTE Corporation had previously been stayed.  Patriot now expects to move forward aggressively with these actions.

"We are excited to continue enforcing the MMP Portfolio," stated Jim Otteson, Founding Partner of Agility.  "We strongly believe that the MMP Portfolio is fundamental to modern microprocessor design, as demonstrated by our jury trial victory against HTC Corporation.  The HTC win laid the groundwork, which we plan to leverage against current and, if necessary, future defendants."

In October, Patriot announced that it had won its patent infringement lawsuit against HTC Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.  HTC was found to infringe multiple claims of Patriot's '336 patent.  The '336 patent is one of several patents that are part of a larger portfolio held by Patriot, known as the MMP Portfolio.
