Lotus Development Corp. Issues Statement In Response to U.S. Supreme Court
Ruling in Lotus vs. Borland

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 16, 1996 -- Lotus Development Corp. today responded
with the following statement to today's U.S. Supreme Court ruling
upholding the U.S. Appeals Court reversal of a Federal District Court
ruling that Borland International infringed Lotus' copyrights in Lotus
1-2-3:

"We are clearly disappointed by the U.S. Supreme Court's 4-4 affirmation of
the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Lotus vs. Borland. We
filed the suit because we believed our position was consistent with
Federal copyright law and prior case law. It is disappointing that the
Supreme Court did not provide more guidance to the industry on these
critical copyright issues."
