Finjan Seeks Injunction, Enhanced Damages, and Attorney Fees Against Secure Computing


SAN JOSE, California, March 27 /PRNewswire/ --     Finjan Inc., a leader in secure web gateway products, today filed several
motions with the District Court of Delaware regarding its recent trial
victory against Secure Computing, the company announced. On March 12, 2008, a
jury unanimously found that Secure Computing and two of its affiliates,
Cyberguard and Webwasher, infringed three of Finjan's U.S. patents relating
to proactive security. The jury also unanimously found that Secure
Computing's infringement was willful. At the same time, the jury held that
Finjan has not infringed and is not infringing the two Secure Computing's
patents which were asserted against Finjan in the case.

Based on this overwhelming trial win, Finjan has requested that the Court
issue a permanent injunction preventing Secure Computing from continuing to
sell products which the jury had ruled infringed Finjan's patents. As the
jury ruled that Secure Computing's infringement was willful, Finjan is also
seeking enhanced damages up to three times the amount the jury awarded, as
well as attorneys' fees, court costs and pre- and post-judgment interest.

The jury awarded Finjan past damages in the amount of 16% royalty rate
for Webwasher software, 8% royalty rate for Webwasher appliances, and 8% for
the Cyberguard TSP appliances. The total amount of past damages based on what
was available to the jury ($49 million of software and $16.75 million of
hardware) totaled $9.18 million. These damages did not include sales of the
Webwasher products after September 9, 2007, and sales of the Cyberguard TSP
appliance after June 2006. With these motions, Finjan is requesting the Court
to include an accounting of infringing sales not considered by or available
to the jury.
