CUPERTINO, Calif., Jul 24, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The TPL Group today announced it has filed a plaintiff's motion to reschedule the Moore Microprocessor Patent(TM) (MMP) Portfolio infringement trial in the US District Court in the Eastern District of Texas from November 2007 to January 2008. The proposed rescheduling would allow additional discovery time for both plaintiffs and defendants to address the broad scope of infringing products manufactured by Toshiba, NEC and Matsushita/Panasonic/JVC.

"As we continue to drive for a speedy trial in the Texas Court, we have come to realize along with the defendants that there is a need for the additional discovery time because of the extremely broad scope and pervasiveness of infringing end user products," asserted Dan Leckrone, Chairman of the TPL Group.
