Item 1. Settlement of Lawsuit with Network Associates Incorporated and filing
of Interim Report in Japan
In May 1997, Trend Micro Incorporated, our U.S. subsidiary ("Trend U.S."),
sued Network Associates, Inc., formerly McAfee Associates, Inc. ("Network
Associates"), and Symantec in the U.S. Federal District Court for the Northern
District of California alleging that some of their products infringe a U.S.
registered patent held by Trend U.S. relating to a system and method for
detecting computer viruses in a networks environment and seeking injunctive
relief and unspecified money damages. The products which incorporate the
patented technology are InterScan VirusWall, InterScan eManager, InterScan
WebProtect, InterScan AppletTrap, ScanMail and other of our products which we
sell for inclusion in our customers' products. Trend U.S. settled its claims
against Symantec in April 1998 by entering into a patent cross-license
arrangement which included an agreement to exchange samples of viruses. In June
1997, Network Associates denied infringement, alleging that Trend U.S.'s patent
is invalid, and filed counterclaims against Trend U.S. alleging unfair
competition, false advertising, trade libel and interference with prospective
economic advantage. These counterclaims are based primarily on Network
Associates' allegations that Trend Micro made false claims about Network
Associates products in its advertising and on its website.
In April 2000, Network Associates filed suit against Trend U.S. in the
U.S. Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas, alleging that
Trend U.S.'s anti-virus software packages, including the Trend Virus Control
System, infringes a Network Associates patent which was issued on February 22,
2000.
On May 31, 2000, the parties entered into a settlement agreement and cross-
license agreement pursuant to which they agreed to dismiss all outstanding
litigation and to cross-license certain rights in their respective patent
portfolios, among other things. Under the agreements, Network Associates will
pay $12.5 million to Trend U.S. within 60 days in consideration for its patent
license from Trend U.S.
On June 1, 2000, we filed an Interim Report with the Kanto Finance Bureau
and a notice with the Japan Securities Dealers Association, and issued a press
release, regarding the settlement of the above-mentioned lawsuits. Attached
hereto as Exhibit 1 is an English translation of the Interim Report filed with
the Kanto Finance Bureau.
Item 2. Announcement of Trend Micro 2000 Incentive Plan
At our Board of Directors meeting held on June 1, 2000, we adopted the
Trend Micro 2000 Incentive Plan for our and our subsidiaries' employees, under
which we will issue (Yen)5 billion worth of unsecured bonds with detachable
warrants. On June 1, 2000, we filed a securities registration statement with the
Kanto Finance Bureau and a notice with the Japan Securities Dealers Association,
and issued a press release, regarding certain terms of the 2000 Incentive Plan.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is an English version of the press release issued
in Japan.
