CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alliacense today announced that Emerson Radio Corporation has purchased a Moore Microprocessor Patent™ (MMP) Portfolio license from The TPL Group. Emerson Radio designs, markets and licenses a broad range of consumer electronics under the Emerson and HH Scott brand names including audio, video, home theater and telecommunication devices.

“Emerson Radio is the ninth MMP Portfolio licensee of 2008,” said Joe Minville, Vice President, Licensing for Alliacense. “We continue to see strong interest from companies that wish to reduce their financial exposure and the possibility of supply chain disruptions.”

The sweeping scope of applications using MMP Portfolio design techniques continues to encourage the world’s leading manufacturers of end user products from around the globe to become MMP Portfolio licensees. Over 40 global companies from the US, Europe, Japan, Korea and Taiwan have licensed the MMP Portfolio technologies, including many industry leaders such as Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, Kenwood, Mattel, Nokia, Philips, Sony and Toshiba.

The MMP Portfolio patents, filed by The TPL Group in the 1980s, cover techniques that enable higher performance and lower cost designs, and are fundamental to consumer and commercial digital systems ranging from DVD players, cell phones and portable music players to communications infrastructure, medical equipment -- and automobiles which today have dozens of microprocessor-based key features and benefits.
