Network-1 Receives New Patent from U.S. Patent Office Expanding Its
M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio To Include 21 Issued Patents

New York, New York – April 2, 2019 Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: NTIP), a company engaged in the development, licensing and protection of intellectual property, announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 10,250,386 ("Power Management and Security for Wireless Modules in 'Machine-to-Machine' Communications"). The claims in the newly issued patent are generally directed towards methods of communication between Machine-to-Machine modules and servers.
 
The newly issued '386 patent arises from a patent application contained in the M2M/IoT patent portfolio acquired by Network-1 in December 2017 (the "M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio"). The M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio relates to, among other things, the enabling technology for authenticating and using embedded SIM cards in next generation IoT, Machine-to-Machine, and other mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets and computers as well as automobiles and drones. With this latest issuance, the M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio now includes twenty-one (21) issued U.S. patents and eight (8) pending U.S. patent applications, plus seven (7) additional pending non-U.S. patent applications. Network-1 anticipates further issuances of additional claims for the M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio.
