Forthcoming Patent Issuance to Further Expand and Solidify Company’s Intellectual Property Portfolio

New York, NY -- Augme Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: AUGT) today announced that on June 2, 2010, it received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) related to its pending patent application entitled “Method and Code Module for Adding Function to a Webpage.” This Application, filed by the Company on Sept. 4, 2007, is a continuation of the Company’s previously issued Patent Number 7,269,636. The Company believes that issuance of this third patent will further establish Augme as the owner of foundational Internet content targeting technology. Following a notice of allowance, the process resulting in final issuance of a patent typically involves minor administrative steps generally completed in less than three months.

"When issued, the new patent has the potential of materially enhancing both the value and validity of our intellectual property portfolio. The allowance of what would be our third patent underscores the fact that, despite the myriad of tactics employed by our initial enforcement targets to elongate the path to collecting infringement damages, the USPTO recognizes our first position and ownership of this breakthrough Internet targeting technology," said Nathaniel Bradley, chief technology and product officer for Augme Technologies. "Our products, built upon our patented infrastructure, remain under constant development and deployment in both the Internet and Mobile market verticals.”

Andy Burgess, Augme Technologies intellectual property consultant stated, "This newly allowed patent enables delivery of multiple source, customized content, to computing enabled devices using disparate operating systems.”

James Lawson, Augme Technologies chief legal officer stated, “We are all justifiably encouraged by the further validation of the Company’s core technology that this Notice of Allowance represents. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has again recognized Augme’s contribution to the field of customized communications. This new patent will further delineate our invention within the field of customized content delivery.”
