Lutterschmidt, Chief Financial Officer Dated: March 19, 2001 --------------- EX-99 2 0002.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99 Contact for: Nocopi Technologies, Inc. Barry S. Kaplan Barry Kaplan Associates email: smallkap@aol.com Phone: 732-747-0702 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOCOPI WINS EUROPEAN LITIGATION West Conshohocken, Pa. Monday, March 19, 2001 - (OTC Bulletin Board: NNUP) PRNewswire. Nocopi Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has been victorious in litigation commenced against it in Europe by Euro-Nocopi, S.A., the company's previous exclusive licensee in Europe. The suit sought to compel Nocopi to continue to perform its license agreement with Euro-Nocopi pending the outcome of arbitration proceedings under the license agreement. Nocopi terminated the license agreement after Euro-Nocopi failed to pay license fees and other expenses due Nocopi and commenced proceedings to liquidate and dissolve. The decision by the French Court held that Nocopi had validly terminated the license and was free to pursue business throughout Europe, including the former customers of Euro-Nocopi. The Court also compelled Euro-Nocopi to deposit in excess of $125,000 with the President of the Paris Bar, as escrow agent, which is the estimated amount due Nocopi from Euro-Nocopi under the terminated license agreement. Euro-Nocopi has also commenced arbitration proceedings against Nocopi in New York under the license agreement. Nocopi intends to vigorously defend its interests in those proceedings, which are continuing. Dr. Michael A. Feinstein, Nocopi's Chairman, said, "we are gratified and vindicated by the judgment of the French court. We intend to seek European business vigorously, and to provide uninterrupted service to European users of our technology. The French court has agreed that Euro-Nocopi has no further rights in our technologies and that Nocopi has the exclusive right to market and exploit its technologies in Europe." NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. was founded in 1984 and is based in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The Company is engaged in the business of developing solutions against counterfeiting, product diversion, document security and authentication via patented technologies including invisible ink and reactive thread.
