Patriot Scientific

$12 million.

All fees from new licensees are paid directly to Phoenix Digital Services (PDS), the joint venture entity owned 50% by Patriot Scientific Corporation and 50% by The TPL Group. PDS collected over $108 million in total license fees for licenses signed in 2006. After allocation for expenses, the distributive share received by Patriot Scientific from PDS was over $48 million. Although most of the companies that have signed license agreements so far have qualified for discounted license fees for being early movers in their market segments, Alliacense has stated that future licensees in segments where early tiers have been captured are subject to progressively higher royalty rates.
