On June 23, 2006, Xerox Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Southern District of New York (U.S. District Court filing 06CV4872) against Media Sciences International, Inc. and Media Sciences, Inc. (hereinafter, the “Company”), alleging that the Company’s solid inks designed for use in the Xerox Phaser 8500 and 8550 printers infringe four Xerox-held patents related to the shape of the ink sticks. The suit seeks unspecified damages, injunctive relief, and fees.
The Company believes its inks do not infringe any valid U.S. patents. The Company intends to vigorously defend these allegations of infringement. The loss of all or a part of this lawsuit could have a material adverse affect on the Company. The Company is evaluating all of its legal options, including possible counterclaims.
