01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSX:ONE) recently provided an update on its inter partes re-examination from the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") as part of its patent litigation with Citrix Systems Inc. The USPTO recently issued an Office Action Closing Prosecution (non-final) in which 4 claims were found to be patentable. The company is confident that the outcome of the reexamination process will be the affirmation of the validity of asserted claims of the '479 patent as originally issued.

"We are pleased that the USPTO has found 4 claims to be patentable in their recent communication," said Andrew Cheung, President and CEO for 01 Communique. "In addition to reaffirming the validity of the patent, the re-examination process also provides us with the opportunity to strengthen our infringement arguments, which is our plan. There were many issues that had to be dealt with in this Office Action and now that they are out of the way we can concentrate on addressing a few key points. We are confident our response will result in a final decision that not only enhances our position with respect to the validity of our patent; but also our infringement arguments and our case for past damages."
