Minnesota Judge Dismisses Multi-Tech Litigation Against Net2Phone

NEWARK, NJ - November 4, 2002 - Net2Phone, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTOP) today announced that a consent judgment has been entered by the United States District Court in Minneapolis, MN dismissing the patent infringement claims asserted by Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. against the Company in a lawsuit instituted on February 15, 2000. The consent judgment follows an earlier Order of the District Court dated August 16, 2002, which construed the claims in the Multi-Tech patents in such a manner as to eliminate the basis for the Multi-Tech claims of infringement against Net2Phone. It is anticipated that Multi-Tech is likely to appeal the judgment and the underlying August 16 Order.

"Net2Phone is pleased with the dismissal, which is in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders," stated Stephen Greenberg, CEO of Net2Phone. "There are no patent lawsuits pending and we are happy to continue our focus on the fundamentals of our business."
