Visible Systems Wins Landmark Decision in Trademark Litigation Against Unisys Corp.

LEXINGTON, Mass., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Visible Systems Corporation of Lexington Massachusetts today won a landmark victory in a trademark infringement lawsuit against Pennsylvania computer behemoth Unisys Corporation. The jury, sitting in Springfield Massachusetts, Federal District Court rendered a verdict today after 90 minutes of deliberation:

1) that Visible Systems has valid trademarks protecting the name "Visible" in the market for software tools and services for modeling of enterprise software and systems.

2) that Unisys Corporation infringed Visible's registered trademarks by its widespread use of "3D Visible Enterprise" in the United States. Unisys had deployed its 3D Visible Enterprise brand worldwide since 2004 to denote modeling tools, methodology and services that it touted in order to market its consulting services as well as its legacy hardware and software businesses. The jury found that the infringement by Unisys was willful.

3) The jury awarded damages to Visible Systems in the amount of $250,000.00.

Further proceedings concerning an injunction will follow.

Visible Systems, founded by M.I.T. graduate and pioneer modeling visionary George Cagliuso, is the oldest name in the market for computerized tools and consulting services for the modeling of systems of business corporations and government agencies. "This is a tremendous vindication," said Visible's Chairman George Cagliuso, "following a lengthy court struggle. Unisys stole our identity," observed Cagliuso, "I am gratified that the American jury system has not let them get away with it." Mr. Cagliuso grew up in Somerville, Massachusetts. He resides in Lexington, Massachusetts. Visible Systems was represented at trial by Stephen H. Galebach of GalebachLaw of Medford, Massachusetts.

PRESS CONFERENCE SCHEDULED - Visible Systems Corporation will be holding a press conference outside the John J. Moakley Federal District Courthouse, 1 Courthouse Way, Boston Massachusetts at 11:00am on Wednesday August 1st, 2007.
