Patents

General

During the last 2 decades CompuSonics Video Corporation (CPVD) applied successfully for several patents and maintained in 1985 from CompuSonics Corporation, Inc. inherited patents with diligence. CPVD owns valid and expired patents in the U.S. and other number of countries. CPVD believes, that CPVD the Company's patents still represent an important and valuable asset, even the expired patents, because the limitation period for patent infringement litigation is 6 years after the patent holder becomes aware of an infringement. In the past CPVD the company hadn't sufficient resources to pursue potentially infringements in an appropriate manner.

During the last years the U.S. jurisprudence acclaimed increasingly the value and justification of intellectual property. This development seems important for the Company in its willingness to protect the rights of the Company's shareholders. In the past the Company wasn't successful to obtain sufficient capital for claiming its intellectual property against the powerful companies, which may have infringed upon the rights of CPVD. The increasing acceptance of intellectual property as an asset and the willingness of the jurisprudence and courts to protect these rights are changing the situation for CPVD. Consequently an increasing number of lawyer firms is willing now to cooperate on a provision basis. CPVD believes that its video data compression is valuable, possibly comparable with compression formats like JPEG. The management and Board of Directors is prepared and willing to cooperate in 2005 with experienced partners and lawyer firms to enforce the rights of its shareholders.

CPVD considers the following owned and maintained patents as important for the shareholder value:
