Arbinet Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit

Arbinet-thexchange, Inc. Files Lawsuit
Against World-Link for Infringing Three Patents

New Brunswick, NJ, December 19, 2005 – Arbinet-thexchange, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBX)("Arbinet"), the world’s leading electronic market for trading, routing, and settling communications capacity, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against World-Link Telecom, Inc. in the U. S. District Court in the Eastern District of New York. Arbinet asserts that World-Link has infringed three of its U.S. patents relating to the trading of telecommunications capacity.

Arbinet’s patents protect the pioneering innovations that enable its web-based methodology and system for global communications network management and display of market price. In the lawsuit, Arbinet requests that the Court enjoin World-Link from infringing the patented technology and also seeks monetary damages arising from World-Link’s unauthorized and willful use of Arbinet’s patented technology.

Curt Hockemeier, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "The patents we hold are central to our business. We intend to protect our intellectual property rights and vigorously pursue all legal remedies against any infringers of these patents."
