XBRL International Conference Convened to Demonstrate XBRL In Action Today around the World

XBRL International, Inc. (XII), a global consortium dedicated to the

development and adoption of XBRL, convened the 17th XBRL International Conference today in the Netherlands. Drawing more

than 300 prominent securities regulators, business and financial

executives, analysts, investment professionals and software developers

from 37 countries, the "XBRL in Action" themed conference opened with sessions showing real use case studies of

XBRL around the world. XBRL is now mandated or used in voluntary filing

programs in Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany

India, Israel, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden

Thailand, United Kingdom and United States.
"Markets representing two-thirds of the world´s

total market capitalization have mandatory or voluntary XBRL filing

programs in place," said Anthony Fragnito

CPA, CEO of XBRL International, Inc. "Just as

companies using XBRL have attracted more attention from analysts and

investors, the global XBRL effort is attracting more attention from

international organizations representing financial executives

securities regulators, auditors and accountants. This further

illustrates that the market has accepted XBRL as the standard for

business reporting and these groups have moved XBRL higher up in

priority."
XII also announced today that JustSystems, Inc., an active global XBRL

member, has contributed its intellectual property rights for XBRL

rendering technologies to XII, the standards body responsible for

oversight of the XBRL specification.
"JustSystems´ generosity and leadership in donating its intellectual property is very

much appreciated by the consortium," added

Fragnito. "This is an excellent example of

how our collaborative process works, making relevant XBRL inventions by

our members available for use within the XBRL community. XBRL was formed

on the basis of open source technology, and our collaborative

development model relies on the generous contributions of its members

for promulgation of the global XBRL standard."
Under the terms of the contribution, XBRL formatting linkbase patents

held by JustSystems will not be asserted. JustSystems will maintain

invention rights, but the intellectual property and all documentation

can be applied freely by the software developer community at large.
Fujitsu (www.fujitsu.com) is the

presenting sponsor for the conference.
