Mattel Becomes 40th Licensee, Setting a Major Milestone in Moore Microprocessor Patent Licensing Program

CUPERTINO, Calif.-- February 25, 2008 --Alliacense today announced that Mattel, Inc. has purchased a Moore Microprocessor Patent™ (MMP) Portfolio license from The TPL Group. Mattel designs, manufactures and markets toys under a variety of iconic brands.

“Mattel’s purchase of a MMP license is yet another example of the widespread use of MMP Portfolio technology,” said Roy Maharaj, Vice President, Licensing for Alliacense. “All producers of microprocessor-based products and dependent services should be placing high priority on the purchase of a license for the fundamental MMP Portfolio technologies to reduce related financial exposure.”

The sweeping scope of applications using MMP Portfolio design techniques continues to encourage the world’s leading manufacturers of end user products from around the globe to become MMP Portfolio licensees. Forty global companies from the US, Europe, Japan, Korea and Taiwan have licensed the MMP Portfolio technologies, including many industry leaders such as Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, Kenwood, Nokia, Philips, Sony and Toshiba.

The MMP Portfolio patents, filed by The TPL Group in the 1980s, cover techniques that enable higher performance and lower cost designs, and are fundamental to consumer and commercial digital systems ranging from DVD players, cell phones and portable music players to communications infrastructure, medical equipment and automobiles.
