DE Technologies Receives Second U.S. Patent For International E-Commerce System

Borderless Order Entry System (BOES) Simplifies International Trade Transactions

Blacksburg, Virginia, January 19, 2005 - DE Technologies, Inc., a private company specializing in global trade services technology and patent technology licensing, announced today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded U.S. Patent No. 6,845,364 for its Borderless Order Entry System (BOES) on January 18, 2005. This is the second U.S. patent awarded to DE Technologies’ co-inventors Ed Pool and Douglas Mauer for their breakthrough advancement in trade logistics computer technology now being utilized in whole or in part by major corporations, global trade services providers, logistics providers, regulatory, and border security authorities.

The BOES technology is the only patented integrated process technology to electronically manage international trade logistics and transactions.

According to Mr. Pool, co-founder and CEO of DE Technologies, “We are very pleased that after nearly five years of additional scrutiny and review, the U.S. Patent Office has agreed for a second time that DE Technologies invented the computer process to electronically manage and process the complex elements of international trade logistics and transactions.” This action by the United States Government adds to the rights previously obtained in our original U.S. Patent No. 6,460,020 (‘020) issued on October 1, 2002 and filed in December 1996. “This second patent underscores our legal ownership to this intellectual property and increases our options to protect its ownership against unlicensed use.” said Pool. The’020 patent is at the center of DE Technologies’ patent infringement lawsuit against Dell Computers, Inc. on-going in Roanoke, Virginia since October 2004.

”This second patent is very significant not only because it confirms the validity of our first patent, but also because it broadens the scope of our patent protection over the first patent,” said Bruce K. Lagerman, President of DE Technologies. “We look forward to speaking with potential licensees, partners, and investors in the coming weeks to build a thoughtful approach to commercializing our patented system and preventing any further unauthorized use by global trade services providers and users.”

DE Technologies maintains strong patent coverage in the following countries: United States (No.
6,460,020 & No. 6,845,364); New Zealand (No. 505284); Singapore (No. 74390); Australia (No. 758864); and Mexico (No. 217354). Additional patents are pending in more than 10 countries.
