TQP is currently engaged in litigation with a number of companies, including, but not limited to:

• Amway
• Verizon
• Sprint Nextel
• Charles Schwab & Co.
• Allianz
• Farmers Insurance
• Geico
• HSBC

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 TQP's patent would gain the freedom to operate under it, and would avoid the uncertainty inherent in patent infringement litigation.

Starting today, ICAP Patent Brokerage will accept anonymous bids on the TQP Development 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.
