MMP Ownership

In June of 2003, PTSC announced a favorable ruling in the case of Fish vs. Nanotronics, PTSC and Felcyn. It mentions a co-inventor but nowhere does it mention a co-owner. Then CEO Jeff Wallin states that the conclusion of seven years of litigation removes any cloud of ownership. There is no mention of Charles Moore as being a co-owner and yet just a few months later, PTSC sued Moore and TPL over ownership. When did PTSC learn of a potential co-owner and more importantly when did they tell shareholders about this potential cloud of ownership. A look at the patent assignment abstract of title raises more questions.
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2003
PTSC (Patriot Scientific Corporation) (OTCBB:PTSC) today announced the Fourth Appellate Court, Division One, of the State of California has affirmed the judgment issued by the trial court in 2000 which ruled in favor of PTSC on all counts in the case of Fish vs. nanoTronics, Patriot and Gloria Felcyn, Trustee. The lawsuit, which was brought by one of the co-inventors of the ShBoom technology, the predecessor technology to the IGNITE, sought a judgment for damages and a restoration of the technology to the co-inventor.
Jeff Wallin, PTSC's president and CEO, stated, "The appellate court's opinion brings to a satisfactory conclusion seven years of litigation and removes any cloud of ownership that may have hung over our technology. We can now aggressively pursue our objective of enforcing our rights against potential infringers of this unique and far reaching technology."
