IneoQuest Wins Trade Secret Case Against Ixia, Moves Forward With Its Own Legal Action

On October 15, 2009, a California jury soundly rejected all claims
brought by Ixia against IneoQuest. Because IneoQuest prevailed at
trial on all claims, IneoQuest will ask the Court to order Ixia to
pay certain litigation costs incurred by IneoQuest.

The jury verdict in IneoQuest's favor was the second significant
victory by IneoQuest in connection with this state court litigation.
In 2006, IneoQuest prevailed over Ixia in connection with Ixia's
motion for a preliminary injunction in which Ixia unsuccessfully
attempted to stop IneoQuest from doing business with certain
IneoQuest customers.

IneoQuest now moves forward with its federal court action against
Ixia, which was filed in November 2008. In the complaint, IneoQuest
alleges that in 2004, Ixia and IneoQuest entered into a written
non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to allow the parties to discuss
possible business and technical relationships. During this period,
Ixia allegedly obtained valuable technology, market and company
information from IneoQuest under the NDA. Ixia then allegedly used
the obtained IneoQuest information as the core for the video
solutions it currently markets. Moreover, the complaint alleges that
Ixia incorporated IneoQuest's patented Media Delivery Index (MDI)
technology in certain Ixia video solutions, again without IneoQuest's
authority or permission. Accordingly, IneoQuest's complaint seeks a
remedy for Ixia's infringement of IneoQuest's U.S. Patent No.
7,321,565. IneoQuest's complaint further alleges that Ixia has
illegally interfered with IneoQuest's business through various unfair
business practices.
