On January 22, 2015, the District Court of
Düsseldorf (the “Court”) issued its decision, relating to two patents, in the patent infringement lawsuits
brought by Vringo's wholly-owned subsidiary, Vringo Germany GmbH (collectively, “Vringo”), against ZTE
Corporation, its German subsidiary, ZTE Deutschland GmbH (collectively, “ZTE”), ASUSTek, Inc. and its German
subsidiary, ASUS GmbH (collectively, “ASUS”).
The Court found that ZTE and ASUS do not infringe the German
part of Vringo’s European Patent 0,748,136 (the “‘136 Patent”), which is directed to devices, including
those with hotspot functionality, that provide data services between two different wireless/cellular networks and that ZTE and
ASUS do not infringe the German part of Vringo’s European Patent 0,710,941 (the “‘941 Patent”), which is
directed to navigation systems that provide traffic information.
Vringo will explore all possible remedies including appeal.
Pursuant to German law, the question of validity of patents
is dealt with in separate proceedings and before different courts. Accordingly, the District Court did not rule on the validity
of the ‘136 and ‘941 Patents. Corresponding nullity actions filed by ZTE and ASUS against the ‘136 and ‘941
Patents are currently pending with the German Federal Patents Court. Hearing dates for those actions have not yet been set.
These rulings do not affect any litigation on other patent families
owned by Vringo.
