SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 21, 2011) - Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), a provider of sales configuration and contract management solutions, and Versata Enterprises, Inc. today announced that the companies have entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement. By closing out all prior claims between the companies, including the settlement and dismissal of their existing suit in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, and restricting future claims, the agreement frees the two parties to each focus fully on maximizing the value they provide to the market.

"Over the past 18 months we have intensified our ramp of new products and have continued to win major new customers," said Jason Stern, President and CEO of Selectica. "By reaching this agreement and resolving prior disputes with Versata, Trilogy, and their related entities, Selectica can now put all of its focus on enhancing relationships with new and existing customers, further expanding our product footprint, and addressing the growing market demand for sales configuration and contract management in the cloud."

"We are pleased to resolve outstanding issues and claims with Selectica," said Randy Jacops, President and CEO of Versata. "I appreciate the diligence with which both management teams worked to craft a mutually beneficial agreement. With that in place, Versata will continue focusing on leveraging its intellectual property portfolio to drive innovation and market leadership."

Selectica also has paid in full an outstanding note to Versata that resulted from a previous patent infringement lawsuit settled without admission or concession of liability or fault by either party.

The companies have also agreed to a mutual cross license of patents, a mutual release of claims against the other, and a mutual covenant not to sue, restricting future claims.
