(NYSE MKT: NTIP) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mirror Worlds Technologies, LLC ("MWT"), has initiated patent litigation against Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,006,227, U.S. Patent No. 7,865,538, and U.S. Patent No. 8,255,439 (collectively, the "Patents in Suit").</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The lawsuit alleges that that the Patents in Suit are infringed by the core technologies that enable both Facebook's Newsfeed, which according to Time Magazine is the "epicenter of its success", and Facebook's Timeline features. The lawsuit further alleges that Facebook's unauthorized use of the stream-based solutions of the Patents in Suit has helped Facebook become the most popular social networking site in the world with more than 1.94 billion monthly active users as of March 2017.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The Patents in Suit are among the patents acquired by Network-1, through MWT, from Mirror Worlds, LLC on May 21, 2013 and relate to computer systems using stream-based solutions. The inventions described in the Patents in Suit resulted from the work done by Yale University computer scientist, Professor David Gelernter, his then graduate student, Dr. Eric Freeman, and their co-inventors in the mid-1990s.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">As reported in <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-STYLE: italic">The Economist</font>, "Dr. Gelernter foresaw how computers would be woven into the fabric of everyday life. In his book 'Mirror Worlds,' published in 1991, he accurately described websites, blogging, virtual reality, streaming video, tablet computers, e-books, search engines and internet telephony. More importantly, he anticipated the consequences all this would have on the nature of social interaction, describing distributed online communities that work just as Facebook and Twitter do today."<sup style="vertical-align: text-top; line-height: 1; font-size: smaller">1</sup></div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Professor Gelernter and Dr. Freeman, and their co-inventors' stream-based solution was envisioned as an electronic diary of a user's entire life. It would contain documents, photos, messages or web pages the user interacted with &#8211; all in a single, searchable stream, and held safely online. Individual items could be shared with other people. The stream could also blend with millions of other streams, with a simple way to control the flow of information so as not to overwhelm the user. It would represent the user's personal life and public life and could function as a confidential electronic diary.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The validity of the '227 Patent has been reaffirmed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in reexamination proceedings initiated by Apple resulting in two re-examination certificates and additional allowed claims.&#160;&#160; In addition, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent Office denied institution of a Covered Business Method Review (CBM) filed by Apple challenging the validity of the '227 Patent concluding that Apple's challenge was not likely to succeed.</div>
