Oakley Prevails in Key Design Patent Infringement Case

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Oakley, Inc. (NYSE:00) today reported
that the District Court of Paris rendered a favorable ruling in design patent
and trademark infringement cases brought by Oakley and its subsidiary Oakley
Europe against Killer Loop and Bausch & Lomb. The ruling represents significant
progress in Oakley's protection of its intellectual property rights.

The court ruled that the Eye Jacket(R) model is a registered design that is
new and distinctive and thus valid in France. In its judgment the court held
that the model Northside sold by Killer Loop and Bausch & Lomb was found to
infringe the registered design protecting Oakley's Eye Jacket. The court
awarded damages to Oakley from both Killer Loop and Bausch & Lomb and ordered
the cease of sale of all Northside products.

In addition, Oakley prevailed in a separate court ruling to invalidate Killer
Loop's French trademark registration number 632095, which featured a flattened
oval that was found to infringe on 0akley's elliptical icon design.

"Innovative eyewear design has always been one of the most distinguishing
factor separating Oakley from the rest of our industry," said Mike Parnell,
Chief Executive Officer of Oakley. "These successful rulings are another
example of our relentless action to protect our proprietary intellectual
property rights in both domestic and foreign markets."

Oakley is an innovation-driven designer, manufacturer and distributor of
high-performance eyewear.
