FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
Network-1 Receives Markman Order in Mirror Worlds Patent Litigation
 
New York, New York - January 16, 2015, Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NTIP) announced today that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, issued its claim construction Order and Opinion or “Markman Order” in the patent litigation filed by Network-1’s subsidiary, Mirror World Technologies, LLC, against several vendors of document system software and computer systems for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,006,227 (the “‘227 Patent”).
 
In a Markman Order, the Court hearing a patent infringement case interprets and rules on the scope and meaning of disputed patent claim language regarding the patent at issue.  In the recently issued Markman Order, the Court ruled on the meaning of seven disputed claim terms.  The Court adopted Mirror Worlds’ proposed construction for four of the disputed claim terms, provided its own construction for two claim terms and adopted defendants’ proposed construction for one claim term.
 
Corey M. Horowitz, Chairman and CEO of Network-1 and President of Mirror Worlds, stated, “We are pleased with the Markman Order and remain confident in our position that the defendants infringe our patent rights.  We believe that the ruling represents a significant step forward toward the successful resolution of Mirror Worlds’ lawsuit.”
