``This is a pivotal time for the MMP licensing program,`` said David Pohl, Patriot Scientific chairman and CEO. ``Adding Sony to our ever-growing number of MMP licensees reinforces the strength of our jointly owned patent portfolio as well as our business and licensing strategy. The MMP Portfolio Licensing Program rewards first movers in their industry sectors with substantial discounts.

Sony was successful in achieving this distinct honor.``

That Sony was perhaps the last one to achieve discounted licensees and Sony was, for lack of a better term, Lucky.

Anyone else sees something similar as I do.

TIA
