Second Quarter Financial and Operating Results

Litigation Update

I/P Engine v. AOL, Google et al. Litigation

Our wholly-owned subsidiary I/P Engine's case against AOL, Google and others is proceeding in U.S. District Court and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

On November 6, 2012, a jury in U.S. District Court in Norfolk, Virginia ruled in favor of I/P Engine and against the defendants with respect to the defendants' infringement of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,314,420 and 6,775,664.  After upholding the validity of the patents-in-suit, and determining that the asserted claims of the patents were infringed by the defendants, the jury found that reasonable royalty damages should be based on a "running royalty," and that the running royalty rate should be 3.5%.  The jury also awarded I/P Engine a total of approximately $30.5 million.  On November 20, 2012, the clerk entered the District Court's final judgment. 

I/P Engine and the defendants have appealed the case to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  AOL, Google et al. filed their opening brief on July 22, 2013, and the brief is publicly available on PACER.  I/P Engine's brief is due on September 3, 2013.

On August 1, 2013, the District Court found that I/P Engine is entitled to supplemental damages from October 1, 2012 to November 20, 2012; prejudgment interest from September 15, 2011 to November 20, 2012; and post-judgment interest for Defendants' infringement. The amounts for each of the foregoing shall be determined by the District Court.

I/P Engine's motion for an award of post-judgment royalties is pending in the District Court.

Google has submitted requests to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for ex parte reexamination of certain claims of the two asserted patents. On July 24, 2013, the USPTO issued a notice that it will issue a certificate confirming that all of the claims in the '420 patent challenged by Google remain valid and unchanged. The '664 patent remains subject to reexamination.

Vringo Infrastructure v. ZTE Litigation

As of today, our wholly-owned subsidiary Vringo Infrastructure has filed cases against ZTE Corporation's subsidiaries in four countries with patents from seven distinct patent families.

On May 15, 2013, Vringo Infrastructure provided ZTE with a term sheet providing for the terms under which it would license its standard essential patents. The term sheet can be found here: http://bit.ly/1c2ZqHH.

On July 3, 2013, Vringo Infrastructure learned that the Patent Reexamination Board of the Patent Office of the People's Republic of China upheld the validity of one of its patents that ZTE sought to invalidate through re-examination.

Near Term Strategic Objectives

"Vringo management is focused on driving licensing revenue, building our intellectual property portfolio, and continued development of technology areas around our existing patents," said Andrew D. Perlman, Chief Executive Officer of Vringo.

"We plan to expand our existing enforcement efforts in the United States and internationally.  In addition, we have identified an extensive list of potential licensees and will seek to monetize our portfolios through licensing and litigation efforts in the near term."

"We continue to grow our intellectual property assets by creating new technology and related patent applications as well as further development of existing patent applications.  We continue to review additional intellectual property assets through our highly selective and disciplined due diligence processes.  In the past several months, we have reviewed and declined over fifty patent portfolios that do not meet our standards.  We are looking to acquire only high value assets when we can do so with minimal or no dilution to our existing shareholders. We expect that our strong balance sheet, management team and structure will allow us to continue to execute on our business plan. We look forward to achieving the milestones that we have set for the company through the remainder of 2013.” Mr. Perlman continued.
