supplier of Internet media delivery services, systems, and innovative

to provide a wide range of business customers with value-added media
delivery services. USVO holds the pioneering patent for store-and-forward
video, filed in 1990 and issued by the United States Patent and Trademark
Office on July 14, 1992; it has been cited by at least 165 other patents.

Big Hollywood Companies that use Movielink
technology are facing a multimillion law suit from US Video Technology, a
subsidiary of Video Interactive that alleges it infringes its patents. The
action was filed in Delaware and claims Movielink is using systems and
services that breach its US patent, 5,130,792. This patent, describes a
store and forward video system using commercial phone networks, and was
filed in 1992.
Movielink runs a web site that lets people
buy movies online but Video Tech claims that this breaches its technology,
and the system is being used without its permission. Several huge studios
are named in the suit including Warner Brothers, Paramount, Metro Goldwyn
Mayer, Universal Studios and Sony Pictures. They are members of a company
that operates Movielink and the web site. The suit asks the court to place
an injunction on Movielink, pay compensation and treble damages, legal
costs and wants the trial to go before a jury. The case can be followed

Press
Release: Lightning
Media and USVO Enter Into Digital Watermarking Partnership...
USVO Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of USA Video Interactive Corp. (``USVO'') and supplier of the
powerful MediaSentinel(tm)digital watermarking technology, has entered
into a partnership with Lightning Media, a leading Hollywood provider of
new media, post-production and DVD replication services.
By using USVO's MediaSentinel workstation,
Lightning Media takes a major step in the ongoing fight against piracy by
offering a new set of digital watermarking services for studios,
television programmers and other clients. ``Video piracy is a serious
problem for the movie industry with billions of dollars in losses every
year,'' said Edwin Molina, President and CEO of USVO. ``The partnership of
USVO's MediaSentinel technology with Lightning Media's digital video
services provides the entertainment industry a solution to help fight the
growing piracy epidemic.'' These services will be available from Lightning
Media starting in mid-October, 2004.
During the initial phase of the
relationship, the companies will promote the MediaSentinel watermarking
service to Lightning Media studio clients directly and through
advertising. In support of these efforts, the companies will collaborate
in the development of educational materials that make clear the benefits
of watermarking to Lightning Media clients. Through these efforts, the
companies also hope to attract new business.
``Lightning Media is excited about our
partnership with USVO,'' states Stephen Buchsbaum, CEO of Lightning Media.
``MediaSentinel is the perfect product to aid us in our continuing quest
to eliminate piracy. The timing is also ideal as it coincides with our
expansion to a new DVD replication facility in Valencia, California. We
are delighted to be able to offer our clientele this new way to protect
and track their property.''
