Taipei, Taiwan----December 8, 2005----CyberLink
Corp. (5203.TW), today responded to the allegation from InterVideo Inc. concerning
a request to the International Trade Commission (ITC) of the US Government
to investigate alleged patent infringement by CyberLink Corporation. As yet,
CyberLink has not received official notification from the ITC and all information
regarding these proceeding has been received via InterVideo's news releases
and reports in the media.
As a heavy investor in its own research and development, CyberLink is a
strong proponent of intellectual property rights. CyberLink has submitted
more than 130 patent applications worldwide and among these applications 36
of them have been granted as patents.
Cyberlink has been aware of the patent at issue in the InterVideo request
for the ITC proceeding (US Patent No. 6,765,788). Cyberlink has undertaken
innovative and different approaches and methods to the development of its
own technology and software. CyberLink believes that its technology and products
do not infringe InterVideo's patent. Should official notification be made,
CyberLink will respond to any ITC proceeding as appropriate and is confident
of a favorable outcome.
Based on information available on the US Patent Office websiteNote, the
patent at issue is now being re-examined by the US Patent Office. Consequently,
if the US Patent Office issues a final action to reject this patent, InterVideo
Inc. will lose its grounds for this latest ITC proceeding.
Again, CyberLink cannot emphasize enough the respects it pays to the ownership of intellectual property rights and holds a positive and optimistic view toward the result of this proceeding.
