USPTO Affirms Key MMP Portfolio(TM) Patents After Multiple Reexams

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Sept. 16, 2009 -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PTSC - News) announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has affirmed the validity of US'336, the most widely recognized patent in the MMP Portfolio(TM).

Recent decisions regarding the Company's MMP Portfolio, licensed by more than 60 global manufacturers, significantly strengthen the patents and its licensing effort exclusively conducted by The TPL Group.

Recent key developments include:

August - September 2009. The USPTO indicates it will issue a Reexamination Certificate for the US'336 "Dual Asynchronous Clock" patent, ending reexaminations filed by NEC, Toshiba, and the Public Patent Foundation; while rejecting another attempted attack by litigant HTC.
July 2009. The USPTO issues a Reexamination Certificate for the US'584 "Multiple Instruction Fetch" patent over the reexaminations filed by litigants NEC and Toshiba.
January 2009. The German Patent Court confirms the validity of MMP Portfolio patent EP'730 rejecting a "nullity action" brought by Deutsche Telecom.

Combined with favorable "Markman" Rulings in the Eastern District of Texas in 2007 and the steady addition of new licensees since the launch of the Licensing Program in 2005, the MMP Portfolio continues to represent one of the most important electronic patent portfolios.

"We are pleased that the US Patent Office action has strengthened the MMP Patent Portfolio," said Rick Goerner, Patriot's President/CEO. "This outcome represents an extremely positive development and which we believe will significantly strengthen the MMP Portfolio(TM) Licensing Program moving forward."
