NICE Updates on Patent Infringement Litigation Brought Against Verint; Court Reaffirms Validity of NICE’s Patent

Ra’anana, Israel, May 2008 - NICE Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: NICE) , announced today that in a patent infringement case brought against Verint Americas, Inc. (formerly Witness Systems, Inc.) in the Federal District Court for Northern Georgia in Atlanta, the court found that certain Witness products, which were named in this case, do not infringe NICE’s VoIP patent 6871229. NICE intends to appeal this decision.

The court rejected Verint’s claims challenging the validity of NICE’s patent and reaffirmed its validity. The US Patent Office has also, prior to the trial, denied Verint’s request for reexamination of the same patent.

“NICE has the broadest portfolio of granted patents in its industry. Our innovative and market leading products are protected by the most extensive portfolio of intellectual property,” says Dr. Shlomo Shamir, President of NICE Systems Ltd. “We intend to continue to seek enforcement of these patents.“

“In addition, we believe that Verint’s patents asserted against NICE are invalid and we intend to continue seeking invalidation of these patents,” concludes Dr. Shamir.

NICE is now expecting a trial date for its pending claim of infringement by Verint’s recording products of 5 of NICE’s recording patents. NICE intends to continue and pursue seeking permanent injunction against Verint’s recording products as well as damages that can reach up to 100 million US dollars.
