ANDREW HUFFMAN JOINS USVO AS A CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE PATENT LEGAL SERVICES FOR THE COMPANY MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT - JANUARY 31, 2002 - USA Video Interactive (OTCBB: USVO; CDNX: US; BSE/Frankfurt: USF; www.usvo.com) today announced that it is expanding ------------ the scope and breadth of its efforts to enforce its pioneering video technology patents by retaining the services of J. Andrew Huffman, a patent and litigation attorney who will serve the company as in-house patent counsel. Specifically, Mr. Huffman will advise the company with respect to its store-and-forward video-on-demand U.S. patent (number 5,130,792) and related European patents, Canadian patents, and other patents and patent applications to be granted or filed by the company. Furthermore, Mr. Huffman will assist USVO with licensing and other agreements that protect the company's intellectual property rights and generate revenues, as well as patent litigation initiatives where appropriate. Mr. Huffman brings to USVO a distinguished and dynamic career in patent, trademark, and trade secret advisement and litigation. He most recently worked for the prominent national technology law firm of Fish & Richardson as a Senior Patent and Litigation Associate, where he contributed to two nationally-reported patent litigation wins and handled all phases of complex civil litigation, from pre-filing infringement investigations through discovery, trial, and post-trial resolution. His prior experience was with the firms of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell and Cravath, Swaine & Moore, where he performed in similar capacities. Mr. Huffman obtained his Juris Doctor degree (magna cum laude) from the Washington and Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia; won several American Jurisprudence awards during his studies there; and more recently has lectured and authored on patent law developments. "USA Video is taking another significant step toward enforcing its pioneering video-on-demand (VOD) patents, as well as its other significant intellectual property, with the engagement of Andrew Huffman," said Edwin Molina, President and CEO of USA Video Interactive. "We are confident that Mr. Huffman has the experience to take this process to the next level, and with USVO as the focus of his legal energies and expertise, we will be able to create an innovative revenue-generating model for USVO's intellectual property." "It is a real pleasure to be involved with USVO's cutting-edge innovation, driven by its dynamic leadership team and top-notch technical talent," commented Mr. Huffman. "In particular, I am excited to be handling the patents that grow out of USVO's ground-breaking VOD inventions from the 1980s to the present, and on into the future. This is a patent portfolio - and a company - with powerful potential."
