Openet Wins Summary Judgment in Patent Infringement Suit

DUBLIN, IRELAND--(Marketwire - October 2, 2012) - Openet, a global leader of transaction management software for network operators, today announced that a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, has granted summary judgment for Openet in a lawsuit filed by Amdocs Limited. The court found that Openet software does not infringe Amdocs' patents.

The suit, filed August 16, 2010, alleged that Openet infringed two U.S. patents owned by Amdocs. Two additional Amdocs patents were added to the case in January 2011. The suit sought money damages and an injunction against the sale of certain Openet products.

After extensive discovery of documents and deposition testimony of witnesses, Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia denied Amdocs' claim. Her September 27, 2012 ruling found that none of Openet's products infringed the four patents in question.

"We welcome the court's decision," said Openet CEO Niall Norton. "Openet's long history of innovative development respects the intellectual property rights of others. This judgement vindicates our strategy of innovation over litigation. I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our staff and legal team during this process."

Amdocs attempted injunction related to Openet's Mediation products, specifically their ability to gather, combine, and synthesize the huge quantities of data generated within the world's largest and most complex networks. Openet Mediation enables the efficient analysis of data that would otherwise be too voluminous and varied to process. 

"Amdocs' action shows it regards Openet as a serious competitive threat," said Openet founder and CTO Joe Hogan. "Customers choose Openet because we channel our energy into creating better products instead of into litigation. Today's judgment again proves that serving customers through product innovation is ultimately the best business strategy." 

About Openet 
Openet is a leader in policy and charging control for the telecommunications industry. The world's largest network operators use Openet to innovate pricing strategies, personalize offerings and reduce operating costs. More than 80 customers in 28 countries use Openet's high-performance network transaction management software.

The Offer has a Consent Payment Date of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 12, 2012 unless otherwise extended (such time and date, as may be extended, the "Consent Payment Date") and will expire at midnight, New York City time, on October 29, 2012, unless otherwise extended (such time and date, as may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). Adoption of the proposed amendments described below requires the receipt of valid and unrevoked consents from holders of more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (other than any Notes owned by the Company or any of its affiliates) (the "Requisite Consents"). A tender may not be revoked after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 12, 2012, unless otherwise extended (such time and date, as may be extended, the "Withdrawal Deadline").

Title of Security		CUSIP/ISIN Number		Principal Amount Outstanding		Tender Offer Consideration(1)		Consent  Fee(1)		Total  Consideration(1)(2)
11 1/2% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2015		676253 AC1 US 676253AC15		$2,000,000,000		$1,085.00		$30.00		$1,115.00
(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase.

Successful HBI and BIOTRONIK Partnership Saves 1,000 Lives - Now Reaching Out to More Countries

 

BIOTRONIK Renews Commitment After Achieving Their First Milestone of Providing 1,000 Life Saving Devices One Year Earlier Than Expected

 

BERLIN--(Marketwire - October 1, 2012) -  BIOTRONIK, a leading manufacturer of innovative medical technology, has surpassed its commitment to provide life-saving devices to more than 1,000 economically disadvantaged patients by 2013 earlier than anticipated. Through its partnership with Heartbeat International Foundation, Inc. (HBI), BIOTRONIK delivered 776 pacemakers and 405 implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in nearly 20 countries to date. Moreover with renewed support from BIOTRONIK, HBI is now expanding its international network to create new operational heart centers in additional countries such as China, Ethiopia and Cambodia.

 

"Not only has BIOTRONIK set itself the ambitious goal of saving 1,000 lives together with us -- and surpassed all expectations by providing the necessary devices almost a year early -- the company has strengthened its commitment: BIOTRONIK is now supporting HBI in its efforts to expand their activities to other regions in the world and ship devices to even more countries," explained Benedict S. Maniscalco, MD, Chairman and CEO of HBI. "The commitment made by BIOTRONIK in support of HBI's mission has set a high bar for other manufacturers of cardiac implantable devices. We want to encourage these manufacturers to take notice and join HBI in its mission."

 

Since 1984, HBI has been the global leader in providing devices that treat cardiac arrhythmias of patients in need -- combating the world's number one killer, cardiovascular disease. Estimates indicate that 82% of cardiovascular disease originates in low- and middle-income countries -- and up to 3 million people die each year because they are unable to afford a pacemaker or ICD.

 

BIOTRONIK's partnership with HBI is dedicated to reducing those preventable fatalities by providing top-of-the-line cardiovascular implantable devices and subsequent treatment to economically disadvantaged patients free of charge -- regardless of age, gender, religion, culture or political persuasion.

 

"As a company that is known for its dedication to patients' health, we see it as our duty to advance initiatives that give economically disadvantaged patients access to life-saving, high quality care," said Christoph Böhmer, President International, BIOTRONIK. "BIOTRONIK's donation of cardiac devices to HBI's program is an important part of this commitment. Working with Heartbeat International Foundation, we are continuously looking for new ways to save even more patients. We are proud as a leading global manufacturer of cardiovascular therapies to support HBI and advance our alliance together."

 

Worldwide New HBI Alliances
By way of the One Heart Global Cardiovascular Alliance, HBI is in partnering discussions with many other nonprofit organizations located in countries where HBI has not yet established operational heart centers. Among these nonprofit organizations are groups such as the Love-Heart Project in China, led by Professor Dayi Hu, one of China's leading cardiologists, and the Pan-African Society of Cardiology and the African Heart Network -- both of which cover multiple countries and have hundreds of physician members.

 

"HBI is grateful for BIOTRONIK's continued support and is privileged to count them as a strategic partner in the expansion of our primary mission of providing comprehensive cardiovascular services through the Global Cardiovascular Alliance," commented Maniscalco.

About BIOTRONIK SE & Co. KG
As one of the world's leading manufacturers of cardiovascular medical devices, with several million devices implanted, BIOTRONIK is represented in over 100 countries by its global workforce of more than 5,600 employees. Known for having its finger on the pulse of the medical community, BIOTRONIK assesses the challenges physicians face and provides the best solutions for all phases of patient care, ranging from diagnosis to treatment to patient management.
