Network-1 Receives Two New Patents from U.S. Patent Office for Additional Claims in Cox Portfolio

New York, December 2, 2014– Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: 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 Nos. 8,904,464 (“Method for Tagging An Electronic Media Work To Perform An Action”) and 8,904,465 (“System For Taking Action Based On A Request Related To An Electronic Media Work”). The claims in the two newly issued patents to Network-1 are generally directed towards methods of tagging an electronic work to perform an action on a user device.

The newly issued patents arise from a patent application contained in the patent portfolio (the “Portfolio”) acquired by Network-1 from Professor Ingemar Cox in 2013.   The Portfolio includes patents relating to enabling technology for identifying media content, such as music and videos, and taking further actions to be performed based on such identification including, among others, the insertion of advertising and the facilitation of the purchase of goods and services relating to the media content.   Since the acquisition of the Portfolio, Network-1 has filed seven additional patent applications (four of which have been issued and three of which are pending) relating to the original specification and anticipates further issuances of additional claims from this Portfolio.

Dr. Cox is currently a Professor at the University of Copenhagen and a Professor at University College London where he is Head of its Media Futures Group.  In connection with the acquisition of the Portfolio, Dr. Cox provides consulting services to Network-1 with respect to the acquired patents and the related pending and future patent applications and assists in Network-1’s efforts to develop the Portfolio.
