DECLARATORY JUDGMENT COMPLAINTS AGAINST SCANNER

     MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Wednesday, June 25, 2008 -- Scanner Technologies Corporation (OTCBB:SCNI - News) today announced that NVIDIA Corporation and ICOS Vision Systems N.V. have filed declaratory judgment complaints against Scanner Technologies in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints seek rulings that various patents owned by Scanner Technologies are invalid and not infringed by BGA devices manufactured by NVIDIA and inspection equipment manufactured ICOS.

     Scanner had previously sued NVIDIA in 2006 alleging that it sold infringing BGA devices covered by one or more claims of U.S. Patents 7,079,678 and 7,085,411. That case was dismissed in 2007 after the New York court judged those patents, and other related patents, to be unenforcable.

     However, a recent ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated the New York judgment affecting the related patents, stating “Because we hold that the district court erred in holding the patents in suit unenforceable for inequitable conduct, we necessarily vacate the district court’s judgment that the related patents not in suit are unenforceable.” Additional related patents owned by Scanner affected by the Federal Circuit ruling include U.S. Patents 6,915,007, 6,915,006, 6,862,365, and 6,072,898.

     The Court of Appeals ruling also affirmed decisions of noninfringement and invalidity of U.S. patents 6,064,756 and 6,064,757 owned by Scanner.

06/19/2008 SCANNER TECHNOLOGIES RECEIVES FAVORABLE RULING

FROM COURT OF APPEALS

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Thursday, June 19, 2008 -- Scanner Technologies Corporation (OTCBB:SCNI - News) today announced that it received a favorable ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

In 2007 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found several of Scanner’s patents related to BGA manufacturing unenforcable due to “inequitable conduct” before the U.S. Patent Office and ordered Scanner to pay ICOS Vision Systems N.V. fees and costs of $3.4 million.

Scanner appealed that decision, and the Court of Appeals heard oral argument on May 9, 2008 and ruled on June 19, 2008. The ruling reversed the New York Court’s judgment that Scanner’s patents are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct, and vacated the award of attorneys’ fees. However, the Court of Appeals affirmed decisions of noninfringement and invalidity of U.S. patents 6,064,756 and 6,064,757 owned by Scanner.

In its ruling, the Court of Appeals stated, “we reverse the district court on its inequitable conduct finding, and its judgment that the related, unasserted patents are unenforceable. Consequently, we vacate the attorneys’ fee award. We affirm the district court’s judgment that claim 1 is invalid as it would have been obvious. We also affirm the district court's judgment invalidating all claims of the patents in suit given the stipulation between the parties that the case would be tried on a representative claim. We also affirm the district court’s holding that the CyberSTEREO does not infringe any claim of the patents in suit generally, and the ‘756 patent specifically.”
