PORTFOLIO LICENSING
OPPORTUNITY
Dear Mr. Inouye,
I have attached a Press Release announcing that Fujitsu has now joined Casio and
Hewlett Packard
in
purchasing MMP Portfolio licenses.
All three
of
the companies studied the issues intensely. All three
of
these licenses cover
all products made by these companies (including disc drives) that contain
microprocessors. Such products range from very simple products to very sophisticated
products. The MMP Portfolio technology is a de facto standard
in
today's
microprocessor-based products.
We believe Gateway's products also require
an
MMP License.
Our technical experts, legal experts and business analysts have launched investigations
into the technical and economic detail
of
Gateway's products businesses.
Some early findings are:
• Effected business segments include Desktop, Mobile, and Servers and Other.
• Gateway products including Desktops (E-6500, E-4500, GT5032), LCD Monitors
(FPD1960), Notebooks (M250, M280), and Servers (9415, 9715) have been
examined and found to rely extensively
on
the use
of
property protected by the
MMP Portfolio patents. We should emphasize that this set
of
Gateway Products is
exemplary only; and is essentially a random sampling representing Products

which technical information was most conveniently available. Indications are that
virtually all Gateway products utilizing microprocessors may be affected.
• A Preliminary Economic Analysis has been completed, and the analysis indicates
Gateway's exposure under the MMP Portfolio to be
in
the range
of
between
$440m and $2.45bn, depending
on
the various assumptions including growth
rates, and consumer/commercial product mix, etc.
The MMP Portfolio Licensing Program
is
focused
on
ready-to-use, end-user, final
products.
It
is
these final products
on
which MMP Portfolio royalties are collected. We
also provide chip manufacturers with access
to
optional, royalty-free MMP Portfolio
licenses.
As we indicated
on
29 AUG 05, the MMP Portfolio Licensing Program will reward first
movers
in
their industry sectors with dramatic discounts. By design, this structure
enables nimble and forward-thinking companies to disadvantage their competitors. For
example, Hewlett-Packard was quick
to
take advantage
of
our incentive plan early
in
2006.
Said another way, to the extent Gateway can break the traditional pattern
of
"legal"
communications by focusing instead
on
"business," progress will be accelerated, and the
rewards are likely to be financially and strategically significant for Gateway Management
and Gateway Shareholders.
In
the computing sector, today
an
MMP Portfolio license costs two times what it did 60
days ago.
In
the computer peripherals sector, a 1st round berth
is
still available.
There
is
an
extremely low price available today for Gateway that will not be available
after the next manufacturer
in
Gateway's industry sectors purchases
an
MMP Portfolio
license.
We are ready to assist Gateway
in
developing the proper evaluation
of
the MMP Portfolio
sufficient to enable Gateway to make a business decision.
We would very much value Gateway as
an
early licensee.
We will most likely be available
in
the
US
during the weeks
of
10 and
17
APR, and we
believe that a meeting could produce a win-win at this early stage
in
our Licensing
Program.
The sooner we hear from you, the more likely we will be able to accommodate your
schedule.

Fujitsu Purchases License to Intellectual Property Protected by
Moore Microprocessor PatenPM Portfolio
Fujitsu joins expanding roster
of
global giants, including Hewlett-Packard
and
Casio
Computer,
to
secure licensing rights
to
ubiquitous
MMP
Portfolio technologies
CUPERTINO, Calif. -March
1,
2006 -Alliacense today announced that Fujitsu Limited has
purchased a license to the intellectual property protected by the Moore Microprocessor
PatentTM (MMP) Portfolio. Fujitsu joins
an
expanding roster
of
global system manufacturers,
including Hewlett-Packard and Casio Computer, who have become MMP Portfolio licensees.
Specific terms
of
the license were not disclosed.
According to Mac Leckrone, Alliacense president, the spectrum
of
system-level digital
products exploiting MMP design techniques is very extensive.
He
noted that products
ranging from televisions, digital cameras and portable music players to servers, medical
equipment, and even automotive electronics systems are all designed with multiple
semiconductor devices that use MMP Portfolio technologies.
"Our Licensing Program rewards first movers
in
their industry sectors with substantial
discounts," said Leckrone "By design,
our
licensing structure enables nimble and forward-
thinking system manufacturers to disadvantage their competitors." He confirmed that
Alliacense has contacted hundreds
of
system manufacturers around the globe, and that
competition for early-round licensing berths
in
key market sectors has become intense.
"Once digital hardware vendors recognize their broad reliance on the intellectual property
protected by the MMP Portfolio, they appreciate the critical need to secure continued access
to the fundamental MMP technologies," said Leckrone "System-level coverage is essential to
maintaining product design freedom and avoiding supply-chain disruptions." He noted that
Alliacense also offers simple, royalty-free licenses to all semiconductor sector operations,
worldwide.
About The
MMpTM
Portfolio
Named after legendary inventor Charles "Chuck" Moore, the Moore Microprocessor PatentTM
Portfolio encompasses seven US patents as well as their European and Japanese
counterparts. Protected through year
of
2015, these patents protect techniques used
in
designing microprocessors, microcontrollers, Digital Signal Processor (DSPs), embedded
processors and System-on-Chip (SoC) implementations.
In
light
of
the early validation
of
MMP Portfolio by marquee chip-makers Intel and AMD
in
2005, MMP licensing efforts are now focused
on
global system manufacturers.

Pursuant to Rules 26 and 34 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendants
Technology Properties Limited (“TPL”), Patriot Scientific Corporation (“PTSC”), and
Alliacense Limited (“Alliacense”) (collectively, “TPL” or “Defendants”) hereby submit their
objections and responses to Plaintiff Acer Inc.’s (“Acer”) Second Set of Interrogatories, as
follows:
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
1. Defendants object to these Requests as not timely served on Defendants with
sufficient time prior to the deadline for fact discovery. See Civil L.R. 37-3.
2. These responses are made only for the purposes of discovery in this action. Each
response is subject to all appropriate objects as to competence, relevance, materiality, and any
and all other objections and grounds which would require the exclusion of documents contained
therein if such documents were offered at court. All such objections are expressly reserved and
may be interposed at the time of trial or at any other time.
3. TPL objects to each Definition and Request and as unduly burdensome and
oppressive to the extent that it purports to require TPL to search TPL facilities and inquire of
TPL employees other than those facilities and employees that would reasonably be expected to
have responsive information. TPL’s responses are based upon: (1) a reasonable search, given the
time allocated to TPL to respond to the requests, of facilities and files that could reasonably be
expected to contain responsive information; and (2) inquiries of TPL’s employees and/or
representatives who could reasonably be expected to possess responsive information. The subject
matter of these requests is under continuing investigation. TPL expressly reserves the right to use
or rely upon documents not produced in response to these requests, if such documents are
uncovered during the course of its ongoing investigation.
4. TPL objects to each Definition and Request to the extent that it purports to impose
any requirement or discovery obligation on TPL other than those set forth by the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the Northern District of California and the Court’s
discovery orders. TPL especially and specifically objects to these Requests to the extent that

they seek information that exceeds the limitations on electronic discovery and discovery of e-
mail in the Court’s discovery orders in this lawsuit.
5. TPL objects to each Definition and Request to the extent that it seeks information
protected from discovery by applicable privileges, including but not limited to the attorney client
privilege, the work product doctrine, joint defense or common interest privilege and/or any other
applicable privilege or immunity. Any disclosure of such protected or privileged information is
inadvertent and is not intended to waive those privileges or protections.
6. TPL objects to each Definition and Request to the extent that it seeks confidential
business information and/or trade secrets. TPL will only provide responses calling for
confidential or trade secret information subject to a protective order entered by the Court in this
lawsuit.
7. TPL objects to each Request to the extent that it purports to require TPL to
produce electronically stored information (“ESI”) outside the scope of an e-discovery plan
approved by the Court in this lawsuit.
8. TPL objects to each Request to the extent that it purports to require TPL to
produce documents in violation of a legal or contractual obligation of nondisclosure to a third
party. TPL will not produce such documents without either the consent of the relevant third party
or an order in this lawsuit compelling production.
9. TPL objects to these Requests to the extent that they seek information that is
available from public sources, more conveniently or less expensively obtained from another
source, or that is otherwise as available to Acer as it is to TPL.
10. TPL objects to these Requests to the extent that they seek information that is not
known to TPL and outside of TPL’s possession, custody, and control.
11. TPL objects to each Definition and Request to the extent it is overly broad,
unduly burdensome, seeks information that is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery
of admissible evidence, or seeks information that is not related to any claim or defense or the
subject matter involved in this lawsuit.

12. TPL objects to these Requests as vague, overly broad and unduly burdensome to
the extent that they fail to specify a relevant time period, or specify a time period beyond the
scope of this lawsuit.
13. TPL objects to these Requests as unreasonably cumulative or duplicative to the
extent that more than one Request seeks the same documents and information.
14. TPL will respond to these Requests with current knowledge and reserves the right
to supplement these responses if any additional information is identified at a later time and to
make any additional objections that may become apparent. TPL also reserves the right to make
any use of, or introduce at any hearing, any documents or information not known or thought to
be responsive at the time of this response.
15. TPL objects to each Definition and Request as premature to the extent that it
seeks materials regarding matters that will be the subject of expert testimony.
TPL objects to each Definition and Request to the extent that it calls for a legal conclusion or to
the extent that it seeks to elicit a response that would require TPL to implicate the mental
impressions of counsel in order to make a proper response. No response by TPL shall be
construed as providing a legal conclusion regarding the meaning or application of any terms or
phrases used in Acer’s Definitions and Requests.
OBJECTIONS TO DEFINITIONS
1. TPL objects to the definition of the terms “Defendants,” “you,” and “your” as
overbroad, unduly burdensome, and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence. TPL further objects to the definition of “Defendants,” “you,” and “your” to
the extent that it calls for information protected by the attorney-client-privilege, the work-
product doctrine, and/or any other applicable privilege or immunity. TPL further objects to the
definition of “Defendants,” “you,” and “your” to the extent that it seeks information that is
outside of TPL’s possession, custody and control. TPL will respond on behalf of Technology
Properties Limited (“TPL”), Patriot Scientific Corporation (“PTSC”), and Alliacense Limited

it creates many distinct subparts that violate the number limitation for interrogatories in this
action. TPL further objects to this interrogatory as vague and ambiguous, including with respect
to the term “circumstances.” TPL further objects to this interrogatory as overbroad, unduly
burdensome, and seeking information that is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence. TPL further objects to this interrogatory to the extent it seeks information

information.

the right to amend or supplement its response, TPL responds as follows: Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §
284, Defendants are entitled to no less than a reasonable royalty. Although it may be entitled to
lost profits damages, TPL intends to seek a reasonable royalty in an amount to be proven at trial
through expert testimony and opinion.
INTERROGATORY NO. 21:
Please state what you contend is a reasonable royalty for practicing each and every
alleged invention claimed in the patents-in-suit and state all facts that support your contention.
