SOLNA, Sweden - 24 September 2009 - Aerocrine AB today announced the positive
outcome of its complaint against Medisoft P.A.E. filed at the District Court of
Dusseldorf, Germany.

In March 2008, Aerocrine sued the Belgian company Medisoft for patent

infringes Aerocrine's patents EP 0 606 351 B1, EP 1 439 781 B1 and EP 0 724 723

invalidity proceedings against Aerocrines patents. 

“We are pleased that the Dusseldorf District Court has confirmed our view that
Medisoft is infringing several Aerocrine patents in Germany”, says Paul de
Potocki, CEO of Aerocrine AB. “Should Medisoft proceed to an invalidity process,
we firmly believe that our patents are valid and that this will be confirmed by
the German Federal Patents Court”.
