PDL BioPharma, Inc.  pioneered the humanization of monoclonal antibodies and, by doing so, enabled the discovery of a new generation of targeted treatments for cancer and immunologic diseases.

PDL is focused on maximizing the value of its antibody humanization patents and related assets.

The Company receives royalties on sales of a number of humanized antibody products marketed today based on patents that expire in late 2014.

**PDL BioPharma, Inc. announced it has received a facsimile letter from Genentech asserting that Avastin(R), Herceptin(R), Lucentis(R) and Xolair(R) (the Genentech Products) do not infringe supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) granted by various countries in Europe to PDL and is seeking a response from PDL to these assertions.

The letter was received at 4:00 pm PDT on Wednesday, August 11, 2010.

The letter does not suggest that the Genentech Products do not infringe PDL’s United States patents to the extent that such Genentech Products are made, used or sold in the United States, including Genentech Products that are made in the United States and sold elsewhere. As a result, PDL anticipates that Genentech will continue to make royalty payments on such activities.
