For Immediate Release

Document Security Systems Announces

Second Delay in Patent Validity Decision by French Court

Court Reschedules Release of Decision to November 14, 2007

ROCHESTER, NY, October 24, 2007 - Document Security Systems, Inc. (AMEX: DMC) (“DMC”), a leader in proven, patented protection against counterfeiting and unauthorized copying, scanning and photo imaging, announced today that the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris, 3^rd Chamber - 3^rd Section of the High Court of Paris in Paris, France, has again rescheduled the release of its decision on the validity of the Company’s European Patent No 0455750B1 (the “Patent”). The judgment, which will be the outcome of a one-day hearing held on June 4, 2007, is now scheduled for November 14, 2007.

Patrick White, Chairman and CEO of Document Security Systems, commented, “The court did not provide an explanation for the delay. Management continues to work aggressively to protect the interests of our shareholders.”

On August 1, 2005, DMC filed a patent infringement suit in the European Court of First Instance (“CFI”) against the European Central Bank (“ECB”) alleging that the Euro banknotes produced by the ECB infringe DMC's the Patent. Subsequently, DMC received notice that the ECB had filed a claim to invalidity with patent courts in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Spain and Belgium. To date, the Patent has been validated in Germany, and the Company is appealing a ruling in the U.K. in which the Patent was held to be invalid. The CFI ruled on September5,2007 that it was not the correct venue for infringement proceedings, which has opened the door for country-by-country infringement litigation.
