Xybernaut(R) Receives Allowance of Significant U.S.
Patents in Wearable Computing
Position as Leader in Wearable Computing Further Strengthened
FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Xybernaut Corporation (Nasdaq: XYBR - news), the leader in wearable computing,
has received notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of two additional significant patents.
These patents build on the U.S. Patent 5,948,047 entitled ''Detachable Computer Structure'' by extending the coverage to
include a wider range of applications, products and wearable computers. The allowance of these two applications further
strengthens Xybernaut's already strong patent position in wearable computers. They are also expected to form the basis for
pervasive computing in general. Details on the coverage will be released when the patents are published by the USPTO.
Ed Newman, Xybernaut President said, ''The rapid pace of convergence in communication and computing appliances means
that more players will be entering this playing field. We are pleased that we will be adding two very important patents to our
existing portfolio of more than 450 granted and pending patent applications worldwide. As stated in previous press releases, we
intend to grant licenses to world-class manufacturing and marketing organizations and to defend our intellectual property as
required.''

productivity tool features all the benefits of a powerful WINTEL Pentium PC, with complete wireless communication
