        ASML FILES PATENT INFRINGEMENT CLAIM AGAINST NIKON IN JAPAN
 Court in California Allows ASML Claims Against Nikon for Patent Misconduct and
                      Antitrust Violations to Proceed


VELDHOVEN, The Netherlands, August 20, 2002 - ASML Holding NV (ASML) today
announced it filed a patent infringement complaint against Nikon
Corporation of Japan in Tokyo District Court, Tokyo, Japan. ASML seeks an
injunction against Nikon to cease the manufacture and sale of lithography
systems that infringe on an ASML patent. The company also seeks damages
from Nikon totaling 11,076,876,300 Japanese Yen (approximately EUR 97
million). Lithography equipment, used to print circuits on silicon wafers
that become semiconductors or chips, is approximately a EUR 4.6 billion
industry worldwide.

The ASML patent in question covers a technical device known as the wafer
handler that moves silicon wafers through the lithography system.

The current patent infringement claim in Japan represents the third
complaint ASML has filed against Nikon in the past five months.

"ASML prefers to fight and win in the marketplace, not in the courtroom.
However, Nikon has chosen to litigate rather than compete," said Doug Dunn,
president and CEO, ASML. "Their unjust claim to our intellectual property
will be vigorously contested."


Complaints Between ASML and Nikon in California, Washington D.C. and Arizona

On 19 July 2002, the US District Court for the Northern District of
California ordered that ASML's claims against Nikon for patent misconduct
and antitrust violations may proceed, denying Nikon's motion to dismiss
those claims. This case is expected to proceed to trial in 2004.

On 4 September 2002, the hearing between ASML and Nikon in the
International Trade Commission (ITC) proceeding will begin in Washington D.C.

ASML's counterclaims against Nikon in the ITC for patent infringement have
been removed to the US District Court for the District of Arizona as
required by law. This case is expected to proceed to trial in 2004.
