Please note actual claim:

77. At some point in early 1992, engineers working for Nanotronics decided to forego the use of a ring oscillator system clock in the Nanotronics Microprocessor because of the risk that a microprocessor using such a clock would not work.
78. Mr. Shaw was aware of this decision by Nanotronics engineers and was aware of the deficiencies in a ring oscillator system clock in the 1995-2000 time frame. Mr. Shaw further worked with one or more engineers at Patriot Scientific Corporation, the successor to Nanotronics, to correct flaws in the design of the ring oscillator system clock disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,809,336.
