ITEM 8.01         OTHER EVENTS.
---------         ------------

      On March 8, 2005, Judge Jeremy Fogel, United States District Judge for the
Northern District of California, issued an order that denied the Company from
introducing Willis E. Higgins' testimony and disqualified the Company's New York
and California counsels from representing the Company in Case Number C 04-0618
JF, Patriot Scientific Corporation v. Charles H. Moore, et al. The order was
granted as a result of Mr. Higgins prior legal representation of Mr. Moore
during the initial filing of a patent application in 1989.

      A case management conference with Judge Fogel is scheduled for April 22,
2005. The Company is currently reviewing its options which include: 1) retaining
alternate counsel and presenting the facts of the case before Judge Fogel
without Mr. Higgins' testimony, 2) requesting Judge Fogel to reconsider the
order, and 3) filing for a review of the order with the Federal Circuit Court.
