The patents covered by this CNS disclose a wide variety of technologies, including technologies related to encrypted data storage, encrypted data transmission, vehicle diagnostics, remote vehicle slowdown, manufacturing resource planning, interactive television advertising, adaptive computer searching, interactive search, and athletic footwear.

Entities owned by Granicus are currently engaged in litigation with a number of companies, including, but not limited to:

• Allianz
• Ticketmaster
• Stanley Black & Decker

A CNS is an agreement that prevents assertion of a party's right to litigation. A company entering into a CNS with respect to the Granicus' patents would gain the freedom to operate under them, and would avoid the uncertainty inherent in patent infringement litigation.

Starting today, ICAP Patent Brokerage will accept anonymous bids on the Granicus CNS. To learn more about the assets available or to place a bid, contact Kevin Fiur at Kevin.Fiur@us.icap.com or (512) 505-2308.
