Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

WOODBURY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2003

Intelli-Check, Inc. (AMEX:IDN), the acknowledged leader in advanced document and age verification systems and the developer of proprietary ID-CHECK(R) technology, today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Tricom Card Technologies, Inc. of Torrance, California.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, maintains that Tricom infringes on Intelli-Check's U.S. Patent No. 6,463,416 B1 for its state-of-the-art ID-CHECK technology relating to its authentication system for document identification. The Intelli-Check Complaint also maintains that Tricom induces infringement of the Intelli-Check patent on the part of Tricom's customers. Intelli-Check seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages from Tricom and injunctive relief.

"This infringement suit demonstrates Intelli-Check's commitment to vigorously protect our intellectual property," stated Frank Mandelbaum, chairman and chief executive officer of Intelli-Check. "We have successfully asserted our patents in two previous legal actions, and as we have previously stated we will continue to protect our intellectual property."

In February, 2003, Intelli-Check sued California-based CardCom Technology, Inc. for patent infringement of its ID-CHECK technology. The lawsuit against CardCom was settled in June, 2003, when CardCom agreed to pay patent royalties to Intelli-Check for the use of some of its patented technology. The company also successfully pursued its patent infringement claims against IDentiScan, now a division of Intelli-Check, in a legal action that was resolved in December 2001.

Intelli-Check currently holds a number of domestic and foreign patents and has several others pending. Intelli-Check specifically maintains that Tricom is in violation of its U.S. Patent No. 6,463,416 B1, a continuation patent issued on Oct. 8, 2002. The technology described in the patent includes the ID-CHECK unit's capacity to validate the information encoded on all currently issued driver licenses and state-issued and military ID cards including those that conform to the uniform standards established by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization of Standardization.
