ClearPlay to Expand in U.S. and Internationally; Thomson Contract Issues with Nissim not a Deterrent.

SALT LAKE CITY -- ClearPlay Inc., the leader in DVD movie filtering, today announced that it will continue to expand its business both domestically and internationally, despite recent legal exchanges between Nissim Corporation and Thomson, which have resulted in RCA temporarily discontinuing the ClearPlay feature in its U.S. models.

ClearPlay emphatically states that its technology does not infringe on Nissim's patents. "Nissim is alleging that we infringe on patents that don't even apply to DVD," says Matthew Jarman, one of the founders of ClearPlay. "Unfortunately, Thomson had an unrelated licensing agreement with Nissim which was a potential concern to them. These legal issues will be sorted out and we will move on."

RCA was the first company to launch DVD players with ClearPlay Filters, with distribution in Wal-Mart, Kmart and other retailers. The launch has been successful and response to the product has been extremely positive. ClearPlay has been featured on major media across the country and has been endorsed by multiple family and parenting advocates and organizations.

Nissim founder Max Abecassis has contacted ClearPlay in the past to pursue business and licensing relationships. "Nissim didn't appear to have any DVD product or any marketable technology," said ClearPlay CEO Bill Aho. Further, the Nissim website describes using its product to provide easy access to adult subjects, including fetishes. "ClearPlay's technology will never be used to facilitate pornography or adult content," added Aho. "ClearPlay provides valuable tools for parents and families to filter out graphic violence, sex and profanity."

ClearPlay will continue to develop and support filters for the RCA players. Additional ClearPlay-enabled products are scheduled for U.S. introduction later this year. International expansion will begin in 2005.
