Specifications, Version 1 . 1, December 1997 - hereinafter the "DVD Specifications") and that are
incorporated in all consumer electronic products ("DVD-Devices") capable of playing digital
video discs ("DVDs") .
12. Virtually every company that sells DVD-Devices in the United States has taken a
DVD-Device License from Nissim under the Nissim Patents and pays Nissim running royalties
for sales of DVD-Devices . In fact, all of the very same companies that own the DVDSpecifications and which sell DVD-Devices (Hitachi, Ltd ., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co .,
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Philips Electronics N .V ., Pioneer Corporation, Sony
Corporation, Thomson Multimedia S .A ., Toshiba Corporation, and Victor Company of Japan .
Limited) have taken a DVD-Device License from Nissim under the Nissim Patents and pay
Nissim running royalties for sales of those DVD-Devices .
13 . In addition to the foregoing companies, Nissim's complete list of licensees,
currently totaling approximately ninety (90) companies, also includes, by way of example : Dell
Products, L .P ., Funai Electric Company, Gateway, Inc ., Hewlett-Packard Company, International
Business Machines Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co . Ltd., and Sharp Corporation .
14. To enable a DVD-Device to play different versions of a video, DVDs can include
certain segment information . For example, the DVD of the motion picture "Crash," released by
New Line Home Video, includes segment information that enables a DVD-Device to play an
"NC-17 Rated" version or an "R Rated" version of the motion picture using substantially the
same video segments . When playing the R Rated version, the segment information enables th e

DVD-Device to skip video segments of, for example, more sexually graphic content than that
contained on the NC- 17 Rated version .
15 . The DVD-Specifications provide for the use of segment information carried by a
DVD to enable a DVD-Device to play, from within the same DVD, more than one version of a
video. This capability of the DVD-Specifications incorporated into all DVD-Devices is covered
by the Nissim Patents .
16 . The Nissim Patents also teach the distribution of segment information separate
from the DVD . Thus, Nissim recognized a separate business opportunity in providing segment
information external to a DVD that would enable a specially adapted DVD-Device to play a
version of a DVD that was not enabled by the segment information carried by the DVD . For
example, in the case of the "Crash" DVD, such a DVD-Device would use segment information
provided separate from the DVD to play a "customized" version of the DVD that excluded
scenes of violence or other objectionable content that would have been included in both the NC17 and R Rated versions .
17 . In July 2005, Defendants ClearPlay, Inc . and ISP Services LLC d/b/a Max .com
launched nationally a new DVD player called the ClearPlay enabled MaxPlay DVD Modem
Player . A true and correct copy of the ClearPlay website offering this product for sale is attached
hereto as Exhibit A . A true and correct copy of the ISP Services website offering this product
for sale is attached hereto as Exhibit B
