Delaware Court Dissolves Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction Against Vringo's Enforcement of Patent Rights

NEW YORK - February 11, 2015 - Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG), a company engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of intellectual property, today announced the United States District Court for the District of Delaware has dissolved the temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction entered last Friday in favor of ZTE and against Vringo.

On February 5, 2015, ZTE filed a lawsuit against Vringo in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, accusing Vringo of violating contractual obligations made to ETSI, a telecommunications standards-setting organization, to license standard essential patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory ("FRAND") terms.  In its complaint, ZTE asserted that Vringo improperly sought injunctive relief against ZTE around the world and, specifically, in Romania where Vringo received an injunction against ZTE's 4G LTE handsets and equipment. 

On February 6, 2015, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware granted a Temporary Restraining Order and a Preliminary Injunction against Vringo, restraining Vringo from taking any action to exclude ZTE products in Romania and from contacting any of ZTE's customers, vendors, and suppliers to inform them of the injunction against ZTE's products. 

On Tuesday, February 10, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware granted Vringo's motion to dissolve the injunctive relief that the Court ordered on Friday, February 6, 2015.  The Court granted Vringo's motion one day after Vringo presented the Court with the full picture of the facts.  The Court also ordered that ZTE's underlying lawsuit against Vringo be transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York where Vringo brought a lawsuit against ZTE for breach of the parties non-disclosure agreement and received a temporary restraining order against ZTE.
