EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ Network-1 Receives Ruling in Markman Hearing in Patent Infringement Action Against D-Link Corporation New York, N.Y., November 27, 2006 - Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:NSSI) today announced that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a ruling in the ongoing patent infringement action between Network-1 and D-Link Systems, Inc. and D-Link Corporation ("D-Link") relating to U.S. Patent No. 6,218,930 ("Remote Power Patent"). The ruling arises from a special proceeding under U.S. patent law called a "Markman hearing," where both sides present their arguments to the court as to how they believe certain claim terms from the patent at issue in the lawsuit should be interpreted. In the ruling, the Court's constructions on 5 of the 6 claim terms at issue were consistent with the constructions sought by Network-1 in its proposed constructions. With respect to the 6th claim term, the Court's construction was consistent with agreed upon portions of the constructions submitted by Network-1 and D-Link but was also modified by the Judge in a manner that Network-1 believes is consistent with Network-1's overall position on the claim term. Corey M. Horowitz, Chairman and CEO, of Network-1 stated, "We are very pleased with the Markman ruling and remain confident in our position concerning the infringement of the Remote Power Patent. We believe that the ruling represents a significant step in Network-1's efforts to license the Remote Power Patent to manufacturers and suppliers of Power over Ethernet equipment." On August 11, 2005, the Company announced that it had filed a complaint against D-Link in the Eastern District of Texas, for infringement of the Remote Power Patent. The `930 Patent, entitled "Apparatus and Method for Remotely Powering Access Equipment Over a 10/100 Switched Ethernet Network,' relates to several key technologies underlying the delivery or receipt of power over data communications networks, including products compliant with the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard that was approved in June 2003 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Power over Ethernet governs the delivery of power over Ethernet cables in order to remotely power network connected devices including wireless access points, RFID card readers, VoIP telephones and network cameras. The `930 Patent was granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on April 17, 2001 and expires on March 7, 2020. Network-1 seeks an award of damages in the form of monetary damages based upon reasonable royalties as well as a trebling of damages for D-Link's continued willful infringement of the '930 Patent. Network-1 further requests that the Court permanently enjoin D-Link from importation and sale of D-Link's Power over Ethernet products into the United States. The outcome of the Markman hearing and the upcoming trial is an important part of the Network-1's strategy for pursuing its patent infringement claims relating to the Remote Power Patent. Network-1's ability to realize licensing revenue from the Remote Power Patent will be severely impaired if the litigation is not successful. ABOUT NETWORK-1 SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC.
