           NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.'S INTERACTIVE ACTIVITY BOOK WINS
                             TWO TOP INDUSTRY AWARDS

WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, PA. JULY 15, 2004, PR NEWSWIRE. Nocopi Technologies, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: NNUP), is pleased to announce that Creative Child Magazine
has awarded the company's Rub-it and Color Activity book the PREFERRED CHOICE
AWARD for the year 2004 in the Kid's Travel Toy Category, and SPECTRUM Magazine
has named the Activity book as one of the TOP THREE products at the 2004 Toy
Fair held in New York City earlier this year.

Creative Child Magazine is a bimonthly publication that delivers the latest
information on how to nurture children's creativity. Award winners were judged
and recognized for their excellence in promoting creativity in play.

Spectrum Magazine, also a bimonthly publication, says of the Activity book:
"it's great for teaching children to color, staying within the lines, and using
different colors in one picture. It is very innovative."

Michael A. Feinstein, M.D., Chairman and CEO of Nocopi noted that "These awards
are certainly an honor, and we are very pleased to be recognized by Creative
Child Magazine and Spectrum Magazine. We are very excited by the attention this
new and unique product is receiving".

The Rub-it and Color Activity book, an interactive product, was launched at the
American International Toy Fair in New York City. This fair, held earlier this
year, is the largest Toy Trade Show in the Western Hemisphere. Fifteen hundred
(1500) manufacturers, distributors, importers, and sales agents from 30
countries showcased their products which included books, action figures, games,
puzzles, and much more.

"These Activity Books bring a rainbow of colors to life without using crayons,
coloring pencils or markers. Colors magically appear before your eyes, simply by
rubbing/scratching the Rub-it and Color paper.

Colors do not stick to your fingers, and they meet the safety requirements of
ASTM-F963 and Non-toxic labeling", stated Dr. Feinstein.







Nocopi Technologies, Inc., a well-known company for the past fifteen years is in
the business of developing solutions against counterfeiting, product diversion,
document security and authentication via patented technologies (including
invisible inks, color changing inks, reactive thread and document security paper
products.)
