    Subject: Stay issued; modified stay to follow

    During a conference call with counsel today, Judge Patel issued a stay of
    the injunctive relief issued in her Opinion of August 25, 1997, effective
    until September 8.

     On September 8 (or sooner if we get the papers to her) the Court she will
    issue a formal Stay Pending Appeal which will stay the injunctive relief
    issued in her Opinion of August 25, 1997, except that an injunction shall be
    reinstated to prevent the prosecution of Professor Bernstein for the
    "unlicensed export" of Snuffle 5.0 (which includes Snuffle and Unsnuffle)
    and any later versions of that program which he has developed.

    This eliminates, at least for the meantime, the injunctive relief granted to
    Bernstein as to any other computer programs which he may have developed or
    otherwise wished to publish.  It also eliminates the protections for persons
    other than Professor Bernstein.

    The government has said that it may still challenge this more limited stay
    in the 9th Circuit.  Professor Bernstein may also seek relief from the stay
    from the 9th Circuit.
