BlackBerry Wins Patent Infringement Case
WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 7, 2014) - BlackBerry®
Limited (NASDAQ:BBRY)(TSX:BB), a world leader in mobile
communications, today announced that a federal jury ruled in favor
of BlackBerry in a patent infringement case brought by NXP BV in
the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, Orlando
Division. The verdict was a sweeping victory for BlackBerry, as the
jury found both that BlackBerry did not infringe NXP's patents, and
that the patents NXP asserted against BlackBerry are invalid.
"We are pleased with the jury's verdict," said Steve
Zipperstein, Chief Legal Officer at BlackBerry. "While this is a
victory for BlackBerry, we look forward to a time when technology
companies will no longer be forced to spend huge amounts of time
and money defending frivolous patent cases such as these, and
instead invest their resources to drive innovation. Until then, we
will vigorously defend our intellectual property rights and contest
all meritless claims."
