Business Wire
Debt Resolve, Inc. (AMEX: DRV), announced today that in the case of
Cybersettle, Inc. vs. National Arbitration Forum, Inc. [2007-1092],
the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a
decision dated July 24, 2007, held that the asserted claims of US
Patent No. 6,330,551 ("551 Patent") for online dispute resolution
cover the submission of multiple rounds and offers that may be
compared and tested at any time and directed that National
Arbitration Forum submit to further proceedings in the District
Court on the issue of its infringement. The Court also found that
other claims do not have a multiple bid requirement. This major
patent infringement case, titled Cybersettle v. NAF, reaffirms Debt
Resolve�s patent protection, since Debt Resolve and Cybersettle
both have rights under the same patent; Cybersettle for insurance;
Debt Resolve for settlement of consumer debt. NAF, which had
earlier admitted the validity of those patent claims, is a
Minnesota-based company involved in alternative dispute resolution,
including settling disputes concerning consumer and commercial
debt. Debt Resolve believes that this decision will prevent NAF
from entering the Online Dispute Resolution business in the field
of consumer collections. CEO James Burchetta stated: �We were
delighted, but not surprised, that the Court reaffirmed the
protection provided by Debt Resolve�s patent and intellectual
property. We applaud and congratulate Cybersettle and await the
outcome of the hearing in the District Court on the issue of actual
infringement. This is a significant victory that clearly
demonstrates the power and breadth of our patents.� Debt Resolve�s
suite of online collection tools is protected not only by the 551
Patent but also by US Patents 6,954,741 and 6,850,918. The Company
intends to continue to vigorously defend its patent and
intellectual property rights, which have been granted in numerous
countries worldwide, including the UK. About Debt Resolve, Inc.
