VISTO WINS MOBILE EMAIL VERDICT AGAINST SEVEN NETWORKS,
FILES ACTION AGAINST RESEARCH IN MOTION (RIM)
<http://www.visto.com/news/releases/06_05_01_seven.html>

   A jury has overwhelmingly found in favor of Visto Corporation in a 
   long-running intellectual property lawsuit between Visto and Seven 
   Networks. The jury found that Seven�s mobile email service infringes 
   on the system that Visto created over the past decade. They further 
   found this infringement to be willful on all claims brought to trial.

   Immediately following their victory over Seven Networks, Visto 
   attorneys filed a similar suit against BlackBerry provider Research 
   in Motion (RIM). Visto is seeking an injunction and monetary damages 
   against RIM.

   "Friday�s sweeping decision against Seven Networks validates our 
   claims that Visto�s intellectual property serves as the basis for 
   this industry�s birth," said Brian Bogosian, Visto�s Chairman, 
   President and CEO. "There was no ambiguity in the jury�s decision. 
   Likewise we believe that RIM�s infringement of Visto�s technology 
   will be halted. Our case against RIM is based on similar technology, 
   law and patents as the case we have just won in federal court against 
   Seven Networks."

   "Based on Visto�s sweeping victory in court against Seven Networks on 
   Friday, RIM must understand that there is no place in the mobile 
   email space for this sort of behavior," continued Bogosian. "Under 
   the law, which protects consumers from products that contain 
   infringing technology, RIM should not be able to sell the BlackBerry 
   system."
