Internet Patents Corporation Provides Business Update

SACRAMENTO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 10, 2013) - Internet Patents Corporation (NASDAQ: PTNT) ("IPC"), today provided a business update.

Recent Highlights

IPC currently owns seven e-commerce related patents. Two patent applications are pending.
In October 2013, IPC appealed the dismissal of its four Dynamic Tabs cases to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. IPC believes that the District Court did not properly apply the law on patent eligibility, and misperceived the substance of the technology claimed in the patent.
The reexamination of the Company's Event Log patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") continues.
The IRS' audit of IPC's tax return for 2011 is in progress. In July 2013, the Company was informed by the Department of the Treasury that the 2011 tax year would be subject to examination. Management believes that the 2011 tax year was filed correctly and also believes there will be no material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Management Commentary "The company is currently focused on achieving positive outcomes in the reexamination and appeal related to our ongoing cases. We therefore do not expect to file new infringement cases for any patent for a few quarters. Our balance sheet remains strong with $32.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2013. We intend to preserve our cash resources during this time and do not plan to use cash to acquire patents or other businesses. Our quarterly cash burn rate is expected to be between $400,000 and $500,000 over the near-term," said Hussein Enan, Chairman and CEO of Internet Patents Corporation.
