Patriot Scientific der Highflyer 2006
Berichte ist aber schon von Anfang an unter aller Sau. Als ob ein Praktikant dort schreiben würde. Immer mit Fehlern und unvollständig.
Daher brauchen wir Dutton bis jetzt nicht wirklich ernst nehmen.
Na mir ist es egal was der Kurs im Moment macht, ich hatte nicht vor zu verkaufen.

DEFENDANT ARM’S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO AMEND
PRELIMINARY INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
Defendants ARM, Inc. and ARM, Ltd. (collectively, “ARM”) oppose Plaintiffs’ motion to amend their preliminary infringement contentions (the “PICs Motion”) because the PICs Motion has the potential to disrupt the Court’s scheduled November 2007 trial date. ARM intervened in this lawsuit to protect its co-defendant licensees and to stop Plaintiffs’ campaign against ARM’s other licensees. Any delay in the trial schedule would merely spread unwarranted fear, uncertainty and delay to ARM’s customers and licensees. As is noted in the opposition submitted by other defendants, the PICs Motion could result in a substantial expansion of discovery against the other defendants. Such a belated expansion of the case is fraught with the possibilities for discovery disputes. If Plaintiffs had timely brought this motion, then such disputes could be managed, but the lengthy delay creates potential problems as the trial date approaches. Any delay in the trial schedule harms ARM. Outside this litigation, Plaintiffs have contacted hundreds of ARM’s customers to make accusations of patent infringement. ARM believes such charges are unfounded but, unfortunately, Plaintiffs force ARM’s licensees to sign non-disclosure agreements (“NDA’s”) preventing ARM from seeing the contents of Plaintiffs’ allegations. These NDA’s impede ARM’s ability to address Plaintiffs’ allegations of infringement. While Plaintiffs have produced some of the communications in discovery, ARM should not have to fight discovery battles to see communications sent to ARM’s customers. ARM merely wants to defend itself and its customers against this unfair practice. Delay thus becomes an advantage in Plaintiffs’ licensing campaign. The longer Plaintiffs can delay adjudication, the greater the possibility that companies will accept licenses merely because of the fear, uncertainty and delay factor. Timely resolution as provided by the Court’s existing schedule is the fairest manner in which to address Plaintiffs’ infringement charges. ARM offered to forego opposition to this motion if Plaintiffs would agree to: (1) not seek any delay in the trial schedule resulting from its new preliminary infringement contentions; and release ARM’s licensees from non-disclosure agreements so that ARM could respond. It is uncertain what effect the PICs Motion will have on ARM’s discovery burdens. ARM has already collected approximately 10,000,000 pages of documents responsive to Plaintiffs’document inquiries. ARM and the Plaintiffs are presently exploring ways to reduce this potential production to lessen the expense and burden on both sides and defend itself against these unfounded accusations of infringement. Plaintiffs refused to agree to not seek a delay in the trial date. This raises serious concerns. Plaintiffs chose this district fully aware of this Court’s procedures and efficient docket management. With the benefit of choosing the forum comes the responsibility of following the chosen court’s procedures. Because Plaintiffs have confirmed the validity of ARM’s concern regarding the potential for a slippage of the trial date, ARM respectfully opposes Plaintiffs’ PICs Motion.
Respectfully submitted,
James H. Wallace, Jr.

Alliacense Appoints Andre-Pascal Chauvin Vice President to Manage European Licensing Activities from Newly Established Paris Office
CUPERTINO, Calif. - April 19, 2007 - Alliacense, a TPL Group Enterprise, today appointed Andre-Pascal Chauvin Vice President, Licensing with primary responsibility for implementing licensing programs in Europe and managing the newly established Alliacense office in Paris. Chauvin brings extensive intellectual property (IP) management experience to his new post including 18 years with Alcatel Group (now Alcatel-Lucent) where for the past seven years he served as Vice President responsible for the global IPR Strategy and Valorization Department.
Commenting on the appointment, TPL Group Chairman Dan Leckrone said, "Our Alliacense team continues to attract world-class talent with successful track records in establishing, building, and demonstrating the value of IP Assets in technology-based industries. We\'re confident that Pascal will effectively spearhead the expansion of our IP licensing programs in Europe, while supporting our worldwide activities in London, Lugano, Vienna and Sofia as well as in Taipei, Taiwan and Chennai, India."
The appointment of Chauvin and establishment of the Alliacense office in Paris reflect the growing global interest in TPL\'s Technology Portfolios. According to Mike Davis, Alliacense Senior Vice President of Licensing, the overwhelming advantages of TPL\'s Technology Portfolios continue to attract major companies around the world. He noted that since January 2006, HP, Casio, Fujitsu, Sony, Nikon, Seiko Epson, Pentax, Olympus, Kenwood, Agilent, Lexmark, Schneider Electric, NEC Corporation, Funai Electric, SanDisk and, most recently, Sharp Corporation have all purchased licenses to use TPL Technology Portfolios managed by Alliacense.
During Chauvin\'s last 11 years at Alcatel, he served in key management positions, initially as Secretary General of Alcatel Labs, the French subsidiary of Alcatel Telecom. In developing the IPR Strategy and Valorization Department to include 15 experts in marketing, patents and negotiations, he implemented strategies to maximize the value of Alcatel\'s IP assets including approximately 17,000 patents and applications. Accordingly, he was instrumental in generating substantial licensing revenue, and refocusing the IP Group on business value while he also engaged several strategic litigations resulting in major benefits for Alcatel. Earlier in his career, Chauvin served as CFO for three subsidiaries of the Alstrom Group and as Deputy Director for SPIE-Batignolles Civil Engineering. Chauvin is a Board member of the Licensing Executive Society in France and regularly participates as a speaker and instructor in international licensing seminars. A former Labour Court Magistrate in the Paris area, he holds degrees in Finance and Economy from Institut Etudes Politiques de Paris.

In USA wurden 20 Mio erwartet. Was sagt ihr dazu ???
habe einen ersten Blick auf die Zahlen geworfen muss allerdings den Q-Bericht nochmals gründlich durcharbeiten:
Ich hatte 9,2 Mio. $ Nettogewinn erwartet für Q3. Es sind 9,6 Mio. $ geworden!
Hier meine erste Kurzzusammenfassung:
Steigt man in die Earning-History ein bleibt folgendes festzuhalten.
In 2006 erzielte PTSC 28,6 Mio. $ Nettogewinn.
In Q3 2007 wurden 11,7 Mio. $ an Lizenzeinnahmen für PTSC eingebucht also 22,4 Mio. $ für PDS nach Kosten (die lt. Kalkulation vgl. z.B. auch Dutton bei ca. 10% der Lizenzeinnahmen liegt) Somit dürften aus den Deals mit Schneider, Lexmark, Funai und der NEC-Gesellschaften ausgenommen NEC Electronics, die noch im Texas Case involviert ist und noch keine MMP-Lizenz erwarb, insgesamt 25 Mio. $ Lizenzeinnahmen eingespielt worden sein in Q3.
Nach drei Quartalen verfügt PTSC über einen Cashbestand von 15,4 Mio. $.
Nach wie vor werden in der Bilanz von PTSC die Patentrechte bzw. das Patentierungspotential mit 0,00 $ bewertet.
Außerdem wurde erneut ein steuerlicher Verlustvortrag für die Folgequartale von etlichen Mio. $ gebildet.
Der gewinn pro Aktie betrug in Q3 0,03 $ bzw. 0,02 $ fully diluted.
In diesem Jahr wurden also folgende Quartalsergebnisse aus gewiesen:
Q1 PTSC-Umsatz 9,43 Mio. $, Nettogewinn 5,99 Mio. $
Q2 PTSC-Umsatz 6,67 Mio. $, Verlust -1,88 Mio. $ (incl. 6,4 Mio. $ gezahlt für Fish-Settlement; ohne Fish-Settlement hätte der Quartalsgewinn 4,52 Mio. $ betragen)
Q3 PTSC Umsatz 11,67 Mio. $, Nettogewinn 9,62 Mio. $
Wichtig dabei ist aus meiner Sicht auch folgendes:
Ohne die Fish-Einigung hätte PTSC nach drei Quartalen einen )-Moantsgewinn von 20,13 Mio. $ ausgewiesen. D.h. im lfd. Q4 fehlen nochmals 8,47 Mio. $ Nettogewinn, um auf das gleiche Jahresergebnis wie 2006 zu kommen, wenn man den Fish Deal nicht berücksichtigt. Dies halte ich deshalb für wichtig, weil man somit die ergebnisse aus dem \"operativen Geschäft\" besser vergleichbar machen kann. Zu berücksichtigen ist auch, daß PTSC über 4 Mio. $ an PDS zahlte (Gebühren, Anwalts, gercihts, Prozesskosten)
Für Q4 stehen ja mit SanDisk und Sharp schon zwei Deals zu Buche.
Wichtig erscheint mir bei erster Durchsicht auch noch, dass PTSC 100% der SCrIPPs Shares besitzt und PTSC ja im letzten Q-Bericht avisierte, das SCRIPPS eine 10% -ige Beteiligung an Secure Path erwartet, die Zukunkunftstechnologie von Holocom mit einem erwarteten Markt von mehreren hunderten Mio. $. Außerdem dürfte das \"sonstige\" Holocom - Geschäft in den PTSC-Q4-Zahlen erstmals mit Umsätzen auftauchen.
Noch nicht richtig fündig geworden bin ich bei der anzahl der Warrants zum 28. Februar. Lt. einem User von Agora, sollsich die Zahl der warrants auf 18 Mio. reduziert haben (muss ich allerdings nochmals in Ruhe nachlesen.
Ich denke die Zahlen sind so erwartet worden und in Ordnung zumal NEC Electronics der dicke Fisch unter den NEC Companies sein dürfte, der noch in Texas involviert ist.
Insgesmt dürfte die Tendenz bei PTSC jetzt wieder nach oben gehen . Vorentscheidende Bedeutung hat logischerweise immer noch das Markman Hearing am 3. Mai. Ein \"Sieg\" dort könnte der Schlüssel für große, schnelle Einigungen mit wesentlich höheren Lizenzgebühren evtl. Royalties sein.
Grüsse
Rocket
was mir noch wichtig erscheint hier im Überblick:
During the nine months ended February 28, 2007, Phoenix Digital entered into licensing agreements with third parties, pursuant to which it received aggregate proceeds of $64,869,000. License proceeds of $2,920,000 relating to an additional license agreement signed in February 2007 were received in March 2007. Phoenix Digital has recorded this amount as a license fee receivable.
Innerhalb der 9 Monate also von Q1-Q3 erhielt Phoenix Digital Solutions - also die Gesellschaft an der TPL und PTSC jeweils 50% halten und in die alle Lizenzeinnahmen zunächst einmal fliessen-
64.869.000 Millionen $ an Lizenzgebühren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diese Zahl weist die eigentlichen Lizenzeinnahmen aus!!!!!!! Diese Zahl muss mit 2006 verglichen werden!!!!! Und daruas ergibt sich eindeutig, dass 2007 spitzenmäßig läuft. Allerdings wurden offenbar die Kosten höher. Das kann mit gestiegenem Aufwand (z. B. alliacense Mitarbeiter, aber auch mit hohen Geichtskosten zu tuen haben)
Für mich steht eindeutig fest, dass die Lizenzeinnahmen nicht in dem Masse gesunken sind (vgl. Zahlen) wie die Kosten gestiegen sind. D.h. der Lizenzschnitt ist wesentlich höher als erwartet. Zur Zeit wird allerdings einiges durch erhöhte Kosten vom gewinn weggenommen.
Zusätzlich unbedingt zur berücksichtigen, weil natürlich nicht im Einkommensstatement erfasst ist folgendes:
Zur Zeit beträgt der Cashbestand von PDS 7,5 Mio. $. Unter \"License fees receivable\" wurde zusätzlich eine weitere Lizenzzahlung ausgewiesen in Höhe von 2,920,000 Mio. $, die erst im März eingegangen ist, aber zu einem Lizenzabschluss gehört, der in Q3 abgeschlossen wurde.!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nach Abzug von Kosten ergibt dies Assets von 10,435,220 Mio. $. Die Equity beträgt 9,793,496 Mio. $. Davon gehören PTSC 50%, also kanpp 4,9 Mio. $!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bis Ende Februar 2007 kaufte Patriot 10.779.029 Millionen Aktien auf dem offenen Markt zurück!
As of February 28, 2007, we had warrants outstanding to purchase 29,906,015 common shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.02 to $1.00 per share, expiring at various dates through 2012. Some of these outstanding warrants were not exercisable as of February 28, 2007 as they are subject to meeting vesting criteria. During the nine months ended February 28, 2007, we issued no warrants to purchase shares of common stock, investors exercised warrants to purchase 272,500 shares of common stock for proceeds of $72,250 and investors exercised warrants of 22,732,380 to purchase 22,459,880 shares of common stock on a cashless basis.
**************************************************
Und hier noch ein lecker Sahnehäubchen zum Schluss:
During the period March 1, 2007 through April 20, 2007, Phoenix Digital entered into license agreements with third parties, with proceeds totaling $22,140,000.
Da haben wir also schon einmal zwei Lizenznehmer im laufenden Quartal mit SanDisk (Abschluss 9.3. und Sharp Abschluß 11.04) und mit Sharp, die zusammen im laufenden Quartal 22.140.000 Mio. $ Lizenzgebühren an PDS zahlten, wovon PTSC nach Abzug der Kosten 50% erhält!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On March 5, 2007, the Company received proceeds of $100,000 from an investor who exercised warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock.
Am 5. März also im laufenden Q4 erhielt PTSC 100.000 $ von einem Investor, der Warrants ausübte zum Kauf von 1 Mio. Aktien!!!!!
On March 20, 2007, an investor exercised warrants of 10,702,243 to purchase 10,424,578 shares of common stock on a cashless basis.
Am 20. März also im laufenden Q4 übte ein Investor Warrants auste zum Kauf von 10,424,578 Millionen Aktien.
D.h. und das ist ein weiteres Highlight vielleicht eines der wichtigsten in diesem Q-Bericht, die Anzahl der Warrants hat sich zum 20. März um 11.424.578 Warrants von 29,906,015 Warrants auf nunmehr verbliebene Warrants von
18.481.437 Warrants reduziert!!!!!!!!
On April 18, 2007, 390,092,696 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the issuer’s only class of voting stock) were outstanding
Der Freefloat beträgt per 18. April 2007 390,092,696 Aktien.
**************************************************
So dass ist meine Zusammenfassung und ich muss sagen, ich bin begeistert:
Highlights:
1. In der Bilanz sind alle Patentrechte von PTSC bzw. das bereits dargestellte Patentpotential auf Basis von zur Zeit 400 Firmen mit ca. 14.000 $ berücksichtigt (hier könnten auch schon hunderte Millionen $ bzw. einige Millarden $ stehen, wenn man wollte)
2. Es wurde ein Nettogewinn von 9,6 Mio. $ erzielt. Ohne Fish-Deal hätte PTSC bereits jetzt nach 9 Monaten über 20 Mio. $ Nettogewinn erzielt!
3. Die effektiven PTSC-Umsätze steigen von Q1-Q3 stetig an. Im letzten Jahr war Q4 sehr schwach.
4. Jetzt stehen für Q4 lt. PDS Kontenstand für 2 Deals mit Sharp und SanDisk bereits über 22 Mio. $ zur Verteilung zu Buche
5. Weiterhinweist die PDS - Bilanz aus, dass PDS zusätzlich über Gelder von über 9,6 Mio. $ verfügt. Hiervon gehören PTSC zusätzlöich4,8 Mio. $
6. Für die weiteren Quartale wurden die Verlustvorträge in höhen von etlichen Millionen $ vorgetragen
7. Innerhalb der letzten 9 Monate erzielte PDS Lizenzumsätze von 67 Mio. $
8. 2,9 Mio. $ gingen bei PDS im März aus Lizenzeinnahmen zusätzlich ein aus einem Deal der in der Abrechnungsperiode bis Ende Februar getätigt wurde, also erst im Laufenden Quartal zu Buche schlägt!!!
9. PTSC besitzt 100% der Sripps Shares. Scripps Beteiligung an der holocom Secure Path Technologie erwartet PTSC lt. letztem Q-Bericht mit 10%. Lt. dem ehemaligen Chef von Holocom hat diese Sicherheitstechnologie ein Marktpotential von hunderten Mio. $. Am sonstigen Geschäft Verbaelungstechnologie etc. istPTSC ebenfalls zu 46% beteiligt. Lt. HP von Holocom erwartet der neue Chef ein großes Jahr für Holocom in 2007 und er betont, dass die Nachfrage riesig ist und das Holocom ein Hauptaugenmerk darauf legen muss, die Aufträge überhaupt alle abarbeiten zu können in einer vernünftigen Qualität!
10. Die warrants auf ca. 18 Mio. reduziert. Zur Erinnerung:
Q1 50 Mio. Warrants, nach Q2 29,9 Mio. Warrants, lt. Q3 29,9 Mio. Warrants. Seit 20. März also laufendes Q nur noch ca. 18 Mio. warrants
**************************************************
Ich sag nur eins. Jetzt geht es kräftig aufwärts!
Grüsse an alle Investiertenlachen
und ein schönes Wochenende

Die Kalkulation der PDS-Einnahmen und Kostenstruktur lässt sich aus meiner Sicht erstmalig hervorragend aus diesem Quartalsbericht ablesen. So wurden in den 9 Monaten 67 Mio. $ Lizenzeinnahmen erzielt bei ca. 7 Mio. $ Kosten.
D.h. im laufenden Quartal stehen schon 22,14 Mio. $ Lizenzeinnahmen bei PDS zu Buche. Rechnet man jetzt die ca. 10 % Kosten ab, verbleiben 19,926 Mio. $ zur Verteilung für TPL und PTSC. D.h. es steht bereits jetzt fest, das PTSC ohne weitere Einnahmen für Q4 Umsätze von 9,96 Mio. $ ausweisen wird. Legt man die Kostenstruktur von Q3 zugrunde, ergiben sich Kosten von 1.445.857 Mio. $. Demnach ergibt sich bereits jetzt für das laufende Q4 ein Nettogewinn von
8.514.143 Mio. $ (hiesse also ohne Fish-Deal wäre PTSC bereits jetzt auf Nettogewinnbasis vom Gesamtjahr 2006)
So ist der Nettogewinn für 2007 bereits jetzt bei 13,71 Mio. $ nach 3 Quartalen + Q4 bis jetzt dargestellt 8.514.143 $=
22.224.143 Mio. $ zu erwarten.
D.h. noch ein lecker Dealchen bis zum 31. Mai in der Größenordnung der Sandisk oder Sharp Lizenzierungen und wir liegen auf gleicher Nettogewinnbasis wie in 2006!
Das cshaffen wir lockerlachenlachenlachenlachen, denn wir haben noch 5 Wochen Zeit und nach dem Hearing dürfte sich noch einiges beschleunigen.
Grüsselecker
und schönes Restwochenende

Results Include Significant Reduction of Outstanding Warrants; Payment of Cash Dividend; Investment In New Joint Venture
CARLSBAD, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PTSC) reported net income of $9,617,559 after provision for taxes, or $0.02 per diluted share, for three months ended February 28, 2007. A copy of the company's Form 10-Q, filed April 20, 2007 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is available on the company's website, www.ptsc.com, where visitors can now sign up for e-mail alerts.
At the end of the quarter Patriot Scientific had $22,756,330 in current assets that included short-term investments and over $15,388,002 in cash and cash equivalents. Current liabilities of $3,724,956 included $3,000,000 earmarked as an expense to be paid May 1, 2007 related to a settlement of a dispute. The company has no long-term debt. In another favorable development, approximately 34,700,000 warrants have been exercised to acquire shares of the company's common stock in the period from June 1, 2006, through March 12, 2007, leaving a balance of approximately 18,000,000 unexercised warrants outstanding at April 20, 2007.
The quarterly results included $11,656,603 received as the company's share of the net income of Phoenix Digital Solutions, the joint venture entity that is owned half by Patriot Scientific and half by The TPL Group. Phoenix Digital receives its income from licenses purchased by manufacturers who use technologies contained in the MMP Patent Portfolio.
Patriot Scientific and The TPL Group are co-owners of the MMP Portfolio, which Alliacense(TM), a TPL Group enterprise, exclusively manages. The MMP Portfolio patents, filed in the 1980s, protect design techniques that have become essential to a myriad of consumer and commercial digital systems ranging from computers, DVD players, cell phones and portable music players, to communications infrastructure, medical equipment and automobiles.
The Patriot Scientific report disclosed that during the nine months ended February 28, 2007, Phoenix Digital entered into technology licensing agreements with third parties, pursuant to which it received aggregate proceeds of $64,869,000. License proceeds of $2,920,000 relating to an additional license agreement signed in February 2007 were received in March 2007. In March and April 2007, Phoenix Digital entered into licensing agreements with aggregate proceeds of $22,140,000. The dollar amount for each licensing deal varies, depending upon factors that include among other things the relevance of the patents to each licensee's revenue and the extent to which the patented technology is incorporated into specific products.
"Our increasing revenues reflect continued momentum in pursuing our patent portfolio licensing strategy through our joint venture with TPL," stated Patriot Scientific Chairman and CEO David Pohl. "We had a net increase in cash of $11,403,762 during the nine months ended February 28, 2007 as we continued to strengthen our balance sheet and our financial structure. We have subsequently used some of the cash to once again pay a dividend to our shareholders as evidence of our ongoing appreciation for their support."
On February 22, 2007 the board of directors of Patriot Scientific repeated its precedent-setting action of a year ago and declared a dividend of $.02 per share for qualifying stockholders and warrant holders as of March 6, 2007. The dividend was paid April 9, 2007. The board also announced that it has adopted a policy of paying a dividend every six months, subject each time to a determination by the board that payment of a dividend would then be reasonable and prudent in light of the financial condition of the company, other possible applications of the company's available resources, and relevant business considerations.
"We are delighted that the strength of our patent portfolio continues to be validated by the 16 licenses that have been signed thus far with major electronics companies since January of 2006," said Pohl. "Our outlook remains positive for continued revenue based on further progress in licensing more of over 400 companies worldwide that have been notified they are candidates."
Pohl reconfirmed that Patriot Scientific is continuing to actively evaluate sources and opportunities to create additional recurring revenue through possible joint ventures or acquisitions, all with the goal of increasing shareholder value. In February, 2007, Patriot acquired the assets of Holocom Networks, Inc., including patents, trademarks, and equipment, in a foreclosure proceeding. Those assets were assigned a fair value of $250,000 by Patriot for accounting purposes and were later transferred along with $120,000 in cash from Patriot to a newly-formed joint venture, Scripts Secured Data, Inc. (SSDI), in return for 100% of the convertible preferred stock of that new company.
SSDI will use the Holocom brand name and continue to produce and sell the former Holocom products that protect cables carrying classified information transmitted over secure networks owned and managed by government and military organizations. Pohl said that positive initial reports from SSDI for the first 60 days of business show gradually increasing sales. Current projections, although results cannot be assured, indicate that SSDI may realize a marginal profit by the end of April 2007, after just ten weeks of business operations.
Patriot Scientific will hold its annual meeting of shareholders Friday, April 27, 2007 at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California. Proxy statements were mailed to shareholders April 9, 2007. Further information is available on the company's web site at http://www.ptsc.com.
