SurferNETWORK Announces Progress on Patent Infringement Suit Against XM/Sirius Involving Fundamental Streaming Technology

FLANDERS, N.J. --(Business Wire)-- As previously reported, SurferNETWORK has initiated a patent infringement lawsuit against XM/Sirius for infringement of SurferNETWORK's Patent #6,766,376, "Streaming Media Buffering System."

Lawsuit Details

The case is pending in U.S. Federal Court, in the Southern District of NY (Case Number 1:08-cv-6357) before Judge Richard M. Berman and Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger. SurferNETWORK expects the case to progress rapidly. A Pre-Trial Conference is scheduled for this Thursday, October 16, 2008 with discovery set to close in February 2009.

About SurferNETWORK



SurferNETWORK, founded in 1998, is a leading provider of Internet broadcasting services. Through its patented Lightning Stream(TM) Instant-On technology, the company provides audio and video streaming services to a variety of industries, such as radio stations, businesses, colleges, local governments, the faith-based community, and sports teams.

"SurferNETWORK wanted to build a business based on Internet Radio," according to co-founder Harry Emerson, and, "We realized that we could not build a successful business based on the existing technology because it was not acceptable to consumers. We therefore built our technology to be 'just like radio', with Instant-On, rapid tuning from station-to-station, and good quality audio."

For more information, please contact Debra Garrison at SurferNETWORK at 973-691-7420, or email Debbie @ SurferNETWORK.com.
