01 Communique Provides an Update on its Patent Litigation against Citrix Systems Inc.

TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2014 /CNW/ - 01 Communique (TSX-V:ONE), announces that it has reached an agreement with Citrix Systems Inc. ("Citrix") whereby each party will withdraw their claims against each other with respect to Citrix's GoToMeeting product and 01 Communique's I'm InTouch Meeting product.

"We remain confident in the merits of our case against Citrix with respect to its GoToMyPC product offering and are eager to get to trial," said Andrew Cheung President and CEO for 01 Communique. "We have a tight schedule with claim construction scheduled to take place in three weeks on November 12^th and 13^th followed by completion of expert discovery shortly thereafter by January 16, 2015, after which we expect to be preparing for trial."

A brief overview of the recent developments in the litigation with Citrix is as follows:

The Company's case against Citrix's GoToMyPC product offering is continuing whereby the Company alleges infringement of its U.S. patent number 6,928,479 ("'479 Patent") by Citrix's GoToMyPC product offering. The Company is seeking past damages going back to August 9, 2005; being the date the '479 Patent was issued, as well as a permanent injunction prohibiting infringement. The case is taking place in the Northern District of Ohio. A claim construction tutorial and hearing is scheduled for November 12 and 13, 2014. Expert discovery is scheduled to be completed by January 16, 2015 following which a scheduling conference is expected to take place to set dates regarding filing and/or renewing dispositive motions, trial preparation and trial.

In respect of the inter partes re-examination of the '479 Patent at the request of Citrix, as previously announced on October 16, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a Rule 36 Judgment affirming the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board's decision that the Company's patent number 6,928,479 (the "479 Patent") that is at the center of this patent infringement lawsuit against Citrix is valid.

On May 30, 2014 Citrix filed a complaint in the United States District Court Central District of California alleging infringement of their U.S. Patent No. 7,219,233  by the Company's I'm InTouch Meeting product and requesting a declaratory judgment against the Company alleging that Citrix's GoToMeeting product offering does not infringe the "479 Patent". An amended complaint was filed on July 31, 2014 dropping the request for a declaratory judgment and alleging infringement of two additional patents, being U.S. Patent No. 8,127,019 and 8,325,896. As part of the agreement these claims are being withdrawn by Citrix.
