Presstek Announces ITC Victory in Patent Infringement Case

GREENWICH, CT – August 7, 2009—Presstek, Inc. today announced that it has prevailed in a critical ruling by an Administrative Law Judge of the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) in the Company’s patent infringement case against Israeli-based VIM Technologies, Ltd.

In an opinion made public on August 5, 2009, Judge E. James Gildea ruled that Presstek’s patents for its printing plate technology are valid and enforceable and that VIM has been infringing Presstek’s legally protected rights by importing and selling VIM’s illegally infringing plates in the United States. The Company said that it expects the ITC to confirm the judge’s ruling within the next few months by banning the importation of VIM’s illegal printing plates into the United States.
