Ya,, he makes me look bad sometimes, but can't blame him for being excited.
I kinda miss the old heading atop the PTSC site that use to say in big letters, ''Patriot's patented technology are used throughout the world in products ranging from computers and cameras to printers, automotive and industrial devices. ''
It's still there found on secnd-link and it's becoming more predominately understood.

Below is a great summation of what the MMP is for any newbies here:
MMP Portfolio(TM) Continues Winning Streak at Patent Office
CARLSBAD Calif., January 11, 2012--(PR Newswire)-Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTCBB: PTSC - News) today announced the latest success in overcoming attempts to challenge the MMP Portfolio. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Intent to Issue Reexamination Certificate for US'584, confirming without amendment the validity of the patent over more than 270 references.
The issuance of the NIRC for US'584 marks the end of the latest series of Reexamination attacks against the MMP portfolio. The MMP Portfolio has now survived 17 Reexamination challenges over the past five years.

- Lower cost
IGNITE I™ Core Family
Based on a high-performance hybrid RISC/Stack 32-bit
architecture, IGNITE cores have the computing power
to meet the needs of SoC tasks.
IGNITE II™ Core Family
Ultra small and ultra low power –ideal for portable and battery-
operated applications, and for cost-sensitive consumer devices.
INFLAME I™ Processors
The INFLAME processor is an advanced array of processors,
which directly benefits from the IGNITE core’s ability to support
adaptive computing. Targeted toward consumer multimedia
applications, enabling conventional and adaptive processing
within a single unified architecture.
The three most widely used patents within the portfolio:
