New Visual Provides Update on Extensive Patent Portfolio 779 Claims Reveal the Scope and Value of NV's Technology SAN DIEGO, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- New Visual Corporation (OTC:NVEI) (BULLETIN BOARD: NVEI) , an emerging provider of semiconductors to the broadband telecommunications industry, provides an update today on its extensive patent portfolio. Recently, the Company has filed amendments to its patents, and has received notification that its patent applications are progressing in several countries. New Visual has developed or licensed 11 patents. There are currently 779 unique claims in the patents, and other patents have referred to these patents 71 times, indicating the broad scope of the Company's intellectual property. They form the basis of Embarq(TM), the groundbreaking semiconductor for the broadband industry. Dr. Walter Chen, a member of New Visual's Technical Advisory Board, stated, "The patents, some of which are co-owned by New Visual and Adaptive Networks and some of which are licensed from Adaptive, are impressive and valuable. The Company has positioned itself to benefit from the growing, international broadband market. The demand for faster and better Internet connections continues to rise, and the technology offered in the Embarq(TM) suite of products will enable data to be transmitted faster than any current technology." Additional information on New Visual's intellectual property can be found at http://www.newvisual.com/. The contract that underlies the licensing and joint ownership of the patents was entered into on November 26, 2004. It is an amended development and licensing agreement with Adaptive, experts in powerline communications. Under the Amended Agreement, Adaptive has provided New Visual with final delivery of the source code, intellectual property rights and other materials that make up Embarq(TM) and additionally has waived its right to receive the first five million dollars in royalty payments that it would otherwise be entitled to in consideration for New Visual's waiver of its potential right to receive payments based on future Adaptive profits and other consideration. With the original agreement dated April 17, 2002, New Visual acquired a worldwide, perpetual license to Adaptive's PowerStream(TM) technology in the field of the copper telephone wire telecommunications network. The Agreement also called for New Visual to contribute to the definition and costs, and jointly co-own significant enhancements to this technology. Together, PowerStream(TM) and its enhancements provide the core technology for New Visual's semiconductor technologies, known as the Embarq(TM) family of transport processors. Embarq(TM) allows telephone companies to transmit data at speeds of up to 100 Mbps across a single pair of copper wires. Dr. Michael Propp, Founder and President of Adaptive stated, "Adaptive has invested more than twenty million dollars toward the development of this fundamental and powerful technology. We are pleased to benefit from New Visual's expert management team to commercialize it for the global DSL marketplace and are happy to facilitate their entry into this market with this amended agreement."
