Also Announces Seventh Wireless Agreement
OTTAWA, Ontario – April 30, 2009- MOSAID Technologies Inc. (TSX:MSD) today announced that it has granted the first license to its new portfolio of 300 communications patents, which it purchased in February 2009.

Financial details of the agreement are confidential.
"Monetizing a new patent portfolio within 10 weeks of acquisition is a record for our Company," said John Lindgren, President and Chief Executive Officer, MOSAID.

This new deal is further evidence that MOSAID's licensing diversification strategy is gaining momentum."
Under the terms of the agreement, the unnamed U.S. company, an emerging player in the IP telephony market, is licensed to certain of MOSAID's 300 communications patents.
