These excerpts taken from the NUAN 10-K filed Dec 1, 2008. Research
and Development/Intellectual Property
In recent years, we have developed and acquired extensive
technology assets, intellectual property and industry expertise
in speech and imaging that provide us with a competitive
advantage in markets where we compete. Our technologies are
based on complex algorithms which require extensive amounts of
linguistic and image data, acoustic models and recognition
techniques. A significant investment in capital and time would
be necessary to replicate our current capabilities.
We continue to invest in technologies to maintain our
market-leading position and to develop new applications. Our
technologies are covered by more than 650 issued patents and 680
patent applications. Our intellectual property, whether
purchased or developed internally, is critical to our success
and competitive position and, ultimately, to our market value.
Our products and services build on a portfolio of patents,
copyrights, trademarks, services marks, trade secrets,
confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to
establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary
rights.

This excerpt taken from the NUAN 10-K filed Dec 15, 2006. Research
and Development/Intellectual Property
In recent years, we have developed and acquired extensive
technology assets, intellectual property and industry expertise
in speech and imaging which provide us with a competitive
advantage in markets where we compete. Our technologies are
based on complex mathematical formulas which require extensive
amounts of linguistic and image data, acoustic models and
recognition techniques. A significant investment in capital and
time would be necessary to replicate our current capabilities.
We continue to invest in our technologies to maintain our
market-leading position and to develop new applications. Our
technologies are covered by more than 550 patents or patent
applications, expiring on various dates between 2006 and 2023.
Our intellectual property, whether purchased and included as an
asset on our balance sheet, or developed internally and thus not
generally included as an asset on our balance sheet, is critical
to our success and competitive position and, ultimately, to our
market value. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights,
trademarks, services marks, trade secrets, confidentiality
provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect
our intellectual property and proprietary rights.
As of September 30, 2006, we had 417 full-time
employees in research and development. Our research and
development expenses for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the nine months ending
September 30, 2004 were $59.4 million,
$39.2 million and $26.4 million, respectively.
