Here is an excerpt from Pubpat
"PUBPAT challenged the patent because Patriot Scientific's aggressive assertion of it is causing substantial public harm by threatening to levy additional costs on the production of microprocessors, which could make every computer Americans buy more expensive. "
So let's see, if we get 1/2 of 1 % (which is much more than we have been getting) , a $1500 item, assuming it uses only one microprocessor, would now cost $1507.50 when you factor in our royalty. Yep, we're really driving up the price of things.
