WiLAN Files Appeal in Patent Dispute with Apple
OTTAWA, CANADA--(Marketwired - Apr 21, 2014) - Wi-LAN Inc.
("WiLAN" or the "Company") (TSX:WIN)(NASDAQ:WILN) today announced
that it has filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit in its patent dispute with Apple Inc.
("Apple") involving WiLAN's U.S. Patent No. RE37,802 ("the 802
patent").
On April 3, 2014, Judge Rodney Gilstrap of the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Texas, ruled that the Jury had no
basis for invalidating the 802 patent at the trial of the WiLAN vs.
Apple lawsuit in October 2013.
"After considering the Court's
ruling on April 3, and based on the advice of our counsel McKool
Smith, we believe there are strong grounds for an appeal in this
case," said Jim Skippen, President & CEO.
In addition to the case
referenced above concerning the 802 patent, WiLAN is in litigation
with Apple in the Southern District of California concerning the
infringement of two patents related to LTE technology. WiLAN
expects the case in Southern California to go to trial later this
year if not settled earlier.
