First patent license signed less than one year after licensing partnership
established between SENSIO and WiLAN

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, May 08, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- SENSIO Technologies
Inc. ("SENSIO") /quotes/zigman/419970 CA:SIO +5.88% today announced that the
recent license agreement between Wi-LAN Inc. and some of its subsidiaries
(together "WiLAN") and Panasonic Corporation ("Panasonic"), announced by WiLAN
on May 6, 2013, included rights granted to Panasonic under SENSIO's patents
covering its SENSIO(R) S2D Switch ("S2D Switch") technology.

"The Panasonic agreement is the first license granted by WiLAN under our
partnership", said Nicholas Routhier, President & CEO, SENSIO. "Having a license
agreement signed so soon after entering into the partnership leaves us
optimistic about the pace at which licensing activity is being undertaken by
WiLAN. We are also very pleased that Panasonic, a pioneer in the 3D television
market, has decided to take a license to our S2D Switch technology, and look
forward to other TV vendors also recognizing the value of our technology and
joining Panasonic as fellow licensees."

SENSIO and WiLAN entered into an agreement to partner on licensing activities in
September, 2012 that granted WiLAN exclusive rights to license certain SENSIO
patents relating to 3D technologies including patents related to SENSIO's S2D
Switch technology. Subject to certain terms of that agreement, net revenues
generated from licensing the SENSIO patents are to be shared by SENSIO and
WiLAN.

The proprietary SENSIO(R) S2D Switch, which is protected by US and international
patents, enables users to switch viewing mode of a 3D video feed from 3D to 2D.
It supports the most popular frame-compatible formats covered by HDMI 1.4a, and
used by service providers supporting 3D today including side-by-side (SbS),
top-and-bottom (TaB).
