I got this about Patriot Scientific,
apparently a press release.

  APPELLATE COURT AFFIRMS PTSC's  TECHNOLOGY LITIGATION SUIT

  SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2003--PTSC (Patriot Scientific
  Corporation) (OTCBB:PTSC - News) 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."

Are those co-inventors known by us?

Anyway , Patriot considers itself an IP company first, and IC manufacturer
second.

For those not in the know :
   IP stand for Intellectual Property, which is tantamount to
   extortion by litigation.

Note that even this simple message has a disclaimer for share holders.

In an other press message they announce proudly how "broad" their
patents are. "Broad patents" have little to do with broad inventions,
but mostly with non-inventions that have broad patent coverage,
brought about by extremely vague patent description, such
that independant inventors of related technologies can be extorted.
There is speak of a patent that is "a fundamental microprocessor
technology currently in widespread use". There was a time that wide
spread use was a sign of prior art, and would prevent a patent
approval.

(Although I doubt not that Patriot has at least some real
inventions to patent, even if they originate from Chuck Moore.)

What has improved is that the Ignite at least can be found on
their web site.
OTOH everything else has become all but unfindable.
