QPSX Announces Progress in Stat Mux Case
ASX Announcement
22 December 2005

In June 2005, QPSX announced the initiation of a new litigation action against major global telecommunications companies Cisco, Lucent, Alcatel, Juniper Networks and Nortel Networks for breach of its United States Statistical Multiplexing (“Stat Mux”) patent. The Stat Mux patent claims a telecommunications apparatus and method used for managing traffic flow in large networks. The litigation has been commenced by QPSX in the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall), claiming damages for unauthorised use of the technology and other remedies. QPSX is represented in the litigation by the prominent Texan law firm of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.

A scheduling conference took place on 21 December 2005, at which time the judge:

1. set a trial date of 2 April 2007
2. ordered that discovery be completed by 17 January 2007; and
3. ordered that a ‘Markman’ hearing to take place on 4 October 2006. Markman hearings are pre-trial hearings at which a judge decides the interpretation of the claims of an asserted patent.

The Stat Mux technology covers a widely used methodology for ensuring that telecommunications switches and routers operate efficiently, in circumstances where the capacity of the switches or routers is threatened by an overflow of traffic.

Invented by researchers in Western Australia in the early 1990’s, the Stat Mux Technology is relevant in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (“ATM”) protocol networks amongst others, which are prevalent in the majority of the telecommunications systems in the US.
