Potential Patent Problems?

In the past, we have received notices alleging potential infringement by us of the proprietary rights of others. In January 1996, we received a letter from an attorney representing E-Data Corporation containing an allegation of infringement of a patent E-Data allegedly owns. We exchanged correspondence with E-Data's attorneys ending in September 1996. We have not heard from any representative of E-Data since that time. In November 1997, we received a letter from representatives of TAU Systems Corporation informing us of two patents held by TAU Systems. In the letter, the representatives stated their opinion that our Commerce software contained various elements recited in the two patents and requested that we discuss licensing the technology of these patents. We responded to the letter stating that, although we had not undertaken a detailed review of the patents, we were unaware of any of our products having one of the elements required by the patent claims. We have not received any further correspondence from TAU Systems. In May 1999, we received a letter from representatives of TechSearch LLC offering us a license to a patent held by TechSearch. We have reviewed the patent and do not believe that we need to obtain a license to this patent. In the future, however, we or our licensees could be found to infringe upon the patent rights of E-Data, TAU Systems, TechSearch, or other companies.
