Vringo Issues Update on UK Litigation: Patents Court Ordered ZTE Will Make Interim Payment of ~$938K

Vringo, Inc. VRNG, a company engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of intellectual property, today announced that the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Patents Court in the United Kingdom ordered ZTE to make an interim payment on account of Vringo's legal costs incurred with respect to the UK part of Vringo's European Patent 1,212,919 (the "'919 Patent"), previously found to be infringed by ZTE and valid as amended. The Court ordered ZTE to pay Vringo £600,000 (approximately $938,000) after taking into account a balancing payment to ZTE with respect to Vringo's withdrawal of another patent from litigation, by January 12, 2015. ZTE's obligation to pay for Vringo's remaining costs with respect to the '919 Patent will be assessed by a separate process, unless agreed, to be conducted next year.
