Vringo, Inc. VRNG, a company engaged
in the innovation, development and monetization of intellectual property,
today provides an update on its patent infringement action against ZTE in
Malaysia:
On June 23, 2014, Vringo Infrastructure, Inc. sued ZTE Malaysia Corporation
Sdn. Bhd. and ZTE Corporation (collectively, "ZTE") in the High Court of
Malaya at Kuala Lumpur. The filings allege infringement of Malaysian Patent
MY-142706-A, which is the Malaysian counterpart to European Patent 1,808,029.
The patent in suit relates to the handover between different networks
initiated by a mobile device. This patent has been declared essential in
connection with 3G and 4G LTE standards.
When Vringo filed the case in June, it initially sought an interlocutory
(interim) injunction against ZTE's infringement of the patent during the time
period prior to trial. The court then set the full trial to commence on March
9, 2015. Vringo determined it would be more efficient to withdraw its claim
for interim relief and proceed to trial where it is seeking a permanent
injunction against ZTE's infringement, among other remedies. At a hearing on
December 16, 2014, Vringo formally withdrew its request for interim relief.
Although ZTE Malaysia requested costs in a quantified amount, the court denied
the request and deferred the determination of the costs to the end of trial.
Vringo estimates the costs to be no more than $2,000.
