The TPL Group and Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTCBB:PTSC) today applauded the Markman ruling of the US District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, which broadly confirmed the strength of the Moore Microprocessor Patent(TM) (MMP) Portfolio jointly owned by the two companies.

According to Dan Leckrone, Chairman of The TPL Group, "The Texas Court ruling reflects well the skill of the Texas Court in dissecting and dealing with a very complex case over the past 15 months." He noted that while the ruling overwhelmingly confirms MMP Portfolio claims against Matsushita, Panasonic, JVC, Toshiba, and NEC entities, there remains a specific, highly-technical phrase that will require further scrutiny.
