Press Release Summary: The European Patent Office granted the patent
in more than 20 European countries.

Press Release Body: (Berlin, September 2007) On 9.27.2006, the European Patent
Office granted ThinPrint GmbH a patent (EP 1 407 369 B1) concerning a procedure for
print output for mobile devices. The core of the procedure is the fact that the
print job is not generated on the mobile device but on an appropriate server, while
the print output still occurs via the mobile device.

This patented technology is used with Cortado Enterprise
(www.cortado.com/enterprise) and Cortado Online Services (www.cortado.com). Cortado
is the division of ThinPrint specializing in mobile solutions.
The ThinPrint technology supports Blackberry, Nokia, and Windows Mobile devices and
allows documents to be printed to any printer via infrared or Bluetooth.


\"In the beginning, it was an even bet on which approach would prevail
technologically: the development of local print systems for each end device, or our
server-based approach, which can be used with almost every mobile device and also
supports all current printer models,\" says Carsten Mickeleit, Managing Director at
ThinPrint GmbH. \" The fact that local systems have so far remained very limited
clearly demonstrates that our server-based method was the right one, as our customer
base shows So we're delighted that ThinPrint has now been recognized as the inventor
and legitimate owner of the mobile server-based print system. The patent is an
important component of our strategic patent portfolio and, at the same time, a
recognition of our large investments in research and development.\"
