Please be apprised of the following Legal Notices:
A) Wang contends that its U.S. Patent No. 4, 751,669 ("the '669
Patent") disclosing a "video text" system, is infringed by the following
functionality in the Netscape Navigator code: 1) the animated logo and
status line indicators --See Claims 1,8 and 9; 2) the "File Save As"
function --See Claims 23-27; 3) Bookmarks and Rename Bookmarks in the
Properties window --See Claims 20-22; 4) storing HTML, GIF, and JPEG
files and adding filename extensions based on mime types (performed in
Windows OS) --See Claim 38. Netscape believes the '669 Patent is
invalid and non-infringed. Netscape is vigorously defending against
Wang's claims.
A) The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has
ruled that the Netscape Navigator code does not infringe Wang's U.S.
Patent No. 4,751,669 ("the '669 Patent") because: 1) HTML is not
Videotex as defined by the '669 patent; 2) web servers are not central
suppliers; and 3) Navigator does not "connect," as defined by the '669
Patent, to web servers on the Internet. Wang may appeal this decision to
the Federal Circuit. Wang contended that its Patent disclosing a
"Videotext" system, is infringed by the following functionality in the
Netscape Navigator code: 1) the animated logo and status line indicators
--See Claims 1,8 and 9; 2) the "File Save As" function --See Claims
23-27; 3) Bookmarks and Rename Bookmarks in the Properties window --See
Claims 20-22; 4) storing HTML, GIF, and JPEG files and adding filename
extensions --See Claim 38
