APPEALS COURT RELEASES DECISION IN PATENT CASE

BETWEEN SEACHANGE & C-COR

MAYNARD, Mass., Jan. 10, 2006 – SeaChange International (Nasdaq:SEAC), one of the world’s top providers of on-demand television systems, announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its decision in nCube Corp. v. SeaChange International, Inc. (Appeal No. 03-1341, 1366) (C-Cor is the successor to n-Cube Corporation). This was the second of the two patent infringement cases pending between the parties.

The Federal Circuit, in a 2-1 split decision, affirmed the May 2002 jury verdict that SeaChange’s then-version of the Connection Manager software infringed C-Cor’s patent (Patent No. 5,805,804). The damages awarded in the previous decision were also affirmed. Since the May 2002 jury verdict, SeaChange has made an accrual on its financial statements for such damages, including attorneys fees. As of October 31, 2005, the amount of this accrual was approximately $7.8 million. SeaChange does not expect that the Federal Circuit opinion will have any additional impact on SeaChange’s financial position, other than the payment of amounts previously accrued for.

“This outcome will not impact our customers,” said Bill Styslinger, president and CEO, SeaChange International. “Based on the District Court’s decision nearly three years ago, we carefully developed a revised software module that we believe does not infringe the patent. All subsequent software shipped after the May 2002 decision included the revised software module and all of our customers were upgraded to it. We believe that the Court’s decision will not impact our future products, our financial position or our overall opportunities in the worldwide on-demand market.”
