HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2002

Fujitsu to use Intergraph technology in consumer electronics and

embedded application products.

Intergraph Corporation (Nasdaq: INGR) announced today that it has entered into a patent license agreement with Fujitsu Limited for use of Intergraph's parallel instruction computing (PIC) technology in consumer electronics products and embedded applications. Intergraph's PIC technology lessens hardware complexity, making design and implementation faster. The royalty-based fee agreement covers both current and future products.

System-on-chip solutions in the digital consumer electronics and communications markets require high performance and ultra-low power consumption. Fujitsu provides both a standalone device and a system-on-chip core platform as a foundation to satisfy these market requirements. Moriyuki Takamura, Group Senior Vice President of the LSI Group of Fujitsu Limited, said: "The license from Intergraph enables Fujitsu to supply device solutions that utilize Intergraph's parallel instruction computing technology. Fujitsu's core platform is well suited for system-on-chip implementations in those demanding market applications that require high performance but low power consumption."

Intergraph chairman and CEO Jim Taylor said, "This licensing agreement with Fujitsu represents a milestone for Intergraph's Intellectual Property Division and continues to demonstrate the value of our patents."

David Vance Lucas, Intergraph vice president, general counsel, and manager of Intergraph's Intellectual Property Division, noted, "Fujitsu is a global leader in electronics design and manufacturing, and we are pleased that Fujitsu will be extending our technology into new areas of use. We look forward to further expanding the use of Intergraph technology through open licensing agreements with others throughout the consumer electronics and computer industries."

Intergraph's Intellectual Property division was created in early 2002. It is independent of Intergraph's five software and services businesses, and has been created as a single point of contact for companies interested in licensing Intergraph's technology. The division's goal is to license Intergraph's technology to a number of industries, including computers, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and electronics design.
