SUN VALLEY, CA--(Marketwire - June 18, 2010) - XTend Medical Corporation (PINKSHEETS: [ XMDC ]), a company that specializes in delivering life-changing medical technology to healthcare organizations globally, has released the following update regarding its lawsuit pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery against U&I Bio-Tech Korea, U&I Bio-Tech California, Mr. Sam Lee, and Mr. Eric Shin.

Paul D. Lisenby, CEO of XTend Medical Corporation, stated, "XTend continues to work tirelessly with its attorneys in California, as well as its local counsel in Delaware, to have the case heard as soon as possible. The defendants are required to file an answer to XTend's complaint on or before June 22, 2010. As XTend awaits the defendants' answer, it would like to provide the following information relating to the ongoing litigation:

1. XTend was a party to the Asset Purchase Agreement, but XTend did not draft the Agreement. Instead, Mr. Lee's counsel in Korea prepared an initial version of the Agreement, and Mr. Lee's counsel also drafted much of the specific language of the provisions contained in the final, executed Agreement.
2. XTend has complied with its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
3. On June 1, 2010, XTend filed a motion for a temporary restraining order seeking a ruling from the Delaware Court requiring the defendants to take all necessary actions to avoid the abandonment of a pending U.S. patent application relating to the BioHarp technology. XTend filed its motion after the defendants refused to confirm that they would pay to the U.S. Patent Office certain required fees before a then-approaching June 7, 2010 deadline. Defendants ultimately paid the necessary fees on June 3, 2010, which accomplished the relief that XTend sought and avoided the abandonment of the patent application.
4. On June 9, 2010, XTend filed a Notice of Interest in Patent Applications with the U.S. Patent Office. XTend's Notice of Interest provides notice to third parties of XTend's claim of ownership interest in three pending United States patent applications relating to the BioHarp technology. The U.S. Patent Office officially recorded XTend's Notice of Interest on June 9."

Mr. Lisenby continued, "XTend believes that its position is strong, and it remains confident that it will prevail. XTend seeks to have this case decided as soon as possible so that it may proceed with its commercial development of the BioHarp technology for global distribution. XTend's resolve remains the same -- to build a strong company, to increase shareholder value, and to take the company to the next level in the trading markets."
