Entertainment Editors/Business Editors

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2004--Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc. (NASDAQ:GMST) responded to yesterday's U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals decision in the matter of SuperGuide Corporation v. DirecTV Enterprises, Inc., et al.:

Gemstar-TV Guide is very pleased by the Federal Circuit's ruling which vacated the summary judgment ruling issued by the District Court for the Western District of North Carolina and remanded the case for further proceedings. In reversing the District Court's summary judgment decision, the Federal Circuit ruled that the District Court incorrectly construed certain patent claims in reaching its decision that the defendants did not infringe Gemstar's patents.
