PROSPECTUS		Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) Registration No. 333-180609

PROPOSED MERGER — YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

Vringo, Inc. (“Vringo”), VIP Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vringo (“Merger Sub”), and Innovate/Protect, Inc. (“Innovate/Protect”) entered into a Merger Agreement on March 12, 2012 (as may be amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Innovate/Protect will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vringo (the “Merger”). The board of directors of Vringo has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger. In addition, the board of directors of Innovate/Protect has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger, (i) each share of then-outstanding common stock of Innovate/Protect (other than shares held by Vringo, Innovate/Protect or any of their respective subsidiaries, which will be cancelled at the completion of the Merger) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Vringo common stock multiplied by the Common Stock Exchange Ratio (as defined below) and (ii) each share of then-outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Innovate/Protect, or Innovate/Protect preferred stock (total 6,673 shares outstanding), (other than shares held by Vringo, Innovate/Protect or any of their respective subsidiaries, which will be cancelled at the completion of the Merger) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the same number of shares of Vringo Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or Vringo preferred stock, which 6,673 shares, as of June 20, 2012, shall be initially convertible into an aggregate of 20,136,445 shares of Vringo common stock (or at a current conversion rate of 3,017.6). The Common Stock Exchange Ratio initially is 3.0176, which is subject to adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split to provide the holders of shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock with the same economic benefit as contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to any such reverse stock split. In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, Vringo will issue to the holders of Innovate/Protect capital stock and the holder of Innovate/Protect’s issued and outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock (on a pro rata as-converted basis) an aggregate of 15,959,838 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,959,838 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. The issued and outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock will be exchanged for 250,000 shares of Vringo common stock and 850,000 warrants to purchase 850,000 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to an equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. In addition, the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock and the aggregate number of warrants (and the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock that may be purchased upon exercise thereof) to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding warrant of Innovate/Protect shall each be ratably adjusted to give effect to any partial exercise of such warrant prior to the effective time of the Merger. Finally, at the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Innovate/Protect common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into options to purchase Vringo common stock with the number of shares subject to and the exercise price applicable to such options being appropriately adjusted based on the Common Stock Exchange Ratio. Immediately following the completion of the Merger (without taking into account any shares of Vringo common stock held by Innovate/Protect stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger), the former stockholders of Innovate/Protect are expected to own approximately 55.98% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 67.69% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis) and the current stockholders of Vringo are expected to own approximately 44.02% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 32.31% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis).

Vringo common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT (formerly, NYSE Amex) and trades under the symbol “VRNG.” On June 20, 2012, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the closing sale price of Vringo common stock was $4.19 per share. Innovate/Protect is a privately held intellectual property company. Following the completion of the Merger, the combined company is expected to be publicly traded on the NYSE MKT.

Vringo is soliciting proxies for use at an annual meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon (i) a proposal to approve the Merger, including, but not limited to the issuance of shares of Vringo common stock and Vringo preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of Vringo common stock to the Innovate/Protect stockholders and warrantholder in connection with the Merger, (ii) a proposal to approve an amendment to Vringo’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of Vringo common stock within the range of one-for-two to one-for-four, (iii) a proposal to approve an amendment to Vringo’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Vringo common stock to up to a maximum of 150,000,000 shares, (iv) a proposal to elect seven (7) director nominees to the Vringo board of directors, (v) a proposal to approve the Vringo, Inc. 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, (vi) a proposal to ratify the appointment of Vringo’s independent registered public accounting firm and (vii) an adjournment of the Vringo annual meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the proposals referred to in clauses (i) through (vi). The board of directors of Vringo recommends that Vringo stockholders vote FOR each of the foregoing proposals. Approval of the foregoing proposals (i) through (iv) is necessary to complete the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Vringo board of directors has determined that the merger, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Vringo and its stockholders. The board of directors makes its recommendation to the Vringo stockholders after consideration of the factors described in this proxy statement/prospectus. The Vringo board of directors unanimously recommends that Vringo stockholders vote FOR each of the foregoing proposals.

The Vringo board of directors has fixed June 8, 2012 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Vringo annual meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. Only holders of record of shares of Vringo common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Vringo annual meeting. At the close of business on the record date, Vringo had 14,064,466 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Your vote is important.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Vringo common stock present and entitled to vote on the matter either in person or by proxy at the Vringo annual meeting is required for approval of Vringo Proposal Nos. 1, 5, 6 and 7. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Vringo common stock entitled to vote on the matter either in person or by proxy at the Vringo annual meeting is required for approval of Vringo Proposal Nos. 2 and 3. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the voting power of the shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for the election of the directors set forth in Vringo Proposal No. 4.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND
THE VRINGO ANNUAL MEETING

The following are some questions that you, as a stockholder of Vringo, Inc. (“Vringo”), may have regarding the Merger (as defined below) or the Vringo annual meeting, together with brief answers to those questions. Vringo urges you to read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus, because the information in this section may not provide all of the information that might be important to you with respect to the Merger or the Vringo annual meeting.

When this proxy statement/prospectus refers to the combined company, it means Vringo and its subsidiaries and Innovate/Protect, Inc. (“Innovate/Protect”) and its subsidiaries, collectively.

This document serves as both a proxy statement of Vringo used to solicit proxies for its annual meeting and as a prospectus of Vringo used to offer shares of Vringo common stock, preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock (including the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants) issuable to Innovate/Protect stockholders and warrantholder in connection with the Merger. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Merger and the Vringo annual meeting and you should read it carefully.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

No fractional shares of Vringo common or preferred stock will be issued to Innovate/Protect stockholders in connection with the Merger. Instead, Innovate/Protect stockholders will be entitled to receive the next highest number of whole shares of Vringo common or preferred stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Vringo common or preferred stock that they would otherwise be entitled to receive in connection with the Merger.

For a more complete discussion of what Innovate/Protect stockholders will receive in connection with the Merger, see the sections entitled “The Merger — What Innovate/Protect Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger,” “The Merger — Ownership of the Combined Company After the Completion of the Merger” and “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration” beginning on pages 64, 65 and 90, respectively.

For example, if you are a Vringo stockholder and hold 5% of the outstanding shares of Vringo common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the completion of the Merger and do not also hold shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock or warrants, then upon completion of the Merger you will hold an aggregate of approximately 1.62% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis as of immediately following the completion of the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On March 14, 2012, the trading day of the announcement of the Merger, the last reported sale price of Vringo’s common stock was $1.84, for an aggregate market value of Vringo of $25.5 million, or $48.7 million on a fully diluted basis. On June 20, 2012, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the last reported sale price of Vringo’s common stock was $4.19, for an aggregate market value of Vringo of $59.7 million, or $110.2 million on a fully diluted basis. Assuming the issuance on such date of an aggregate of 18,113,169 shares of Vringo common stock based on a Common Stock Exchange Ratio of 3.0176, an aggregate of 6,673 shares of Vringo preferred stock and an aggregate of 16,809,838 of Vringo warrants, if the Merger was completed on such date, the market value attributable to the shares of Vringo common stock to be issued to Innovate/Protect’s stockholders in the aggregate, or approximately 67.69% of the outstanding shares of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis, would equal $231 million.

For a more complete discussion of the Common Stock Exchange Ratio, see the section entitled “The Merger — What Innovate/Protect Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger” beginning on page 64.

At the effective time of the Merger, each Innovate/Protect stock option, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into and become an option to purchase Vringo common stock and Vringo will assume such Innovate/Protect stock option in accordance with the terms of the Innovate/Protect 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. After the effective time of the Merger, (a) each Innovate/Protect stock option assumed by Vringo may be exercised solely for shares of Vringo common stock and (b) the number of shares of Vringo common stock and the exercise price subject to each Innovate/Protect stock option assumed by Vringo shall be determined by the Common Stock Exchange Ratio. As of June 20, 2012, the outstanding and unexercised Innovate/Protect stock options to purchase 13,646 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into and become options to purchase an aggregate of 41,178 shares of Vringo common stock at an exercise price of $0.994 per share.

For a more complete discussion of what holders of Innovate/Protect stock options and warrants will receive in connection with the Merger, see the section entitled “The Merger — Treatment of Innovate/Protect Stock Options and Warrants” beginning on page 65.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Both Vringo and Innovate/Protect expect to undergo changes in connection with the Merger. Currently, Vringo is engaged in developing software platforms and applications for mobile devices. Innovate/Protect maximizes, for inventors and investors, the economic benefits of intellectual property assets through acquiring or internally developing patents or other intellectual property assets.

The Merger will create a company with enhanced technology capabilities to create, build and deliver mobile applications and services to its handset and mobile operator partners as well as directly to consumers. We believe that the value of each company’s intellectual property portfolio will be enhanced through the combined company’s ability to license and enforce its intellectual property rights.

We expect that the combined company will have two key areas of operation:

Vringo has developed a platform for the distribution of mobile applications. Vringo believes that its technology and business relationships will allow it to distribute new applications and services through:

Vringo has succeeded in licensing its software to two of the four largest handset makers in the world, ZTE and Nokia. Vringo has also launched services with mobile operators such as Verizon, NTTDocomo, Etisalat, Axiata, Orange (Everything Everywhere), Tata Docomo, Vodafone and Maxis. Through the Merger, Vringo adds a technology development leadership team that we believe will develop products that we believe will continue to represent the next stage in the evolution of the mobile content and mobile social applications market.

To date, Vringo has filed over 24 patent applications, and three patents have been granted by the USPTO. Additionally, Vringo has received a notice of allowance for one patent in Europe. Through the Merger, Vringo will own patent assets acquired from Lycos, Inc. Vringo intends to expand its intellectual property portfolio through both internal development and acquisition. The experience and liquidity of the combined company will enable Vringo to expand on that portfolio as well as create additional intellectually property internally. Vringo intends to monetize its intellectual property through:

For a more complete discussion of the existing businesses of Vringo and Innovate/Protect, see the sections entitled “Vringo’s Business,” “Vringo’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Innovate/Protect’s Business,” and “Innovate/Protect’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 123, 129, 148, and 156, respectively. In addition, you should carefully review the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 41, which presents risks and uncertainties related to the Merger, the combined company following the completion of the Merger, and the business and operations of each of Vringo and Innovate/Protect.

On June 1, 2012, Hudson Bay committed, subject to the terms and conditions of a commitment letter agreement, that, at any time within 18 months following the closing of the Merger and upon the request of Innovate/Protect, it or, at its election, one or more of its affiliated funds or entities shall provide debt financing to Innovate/Protect in the aggregate principal amount of up to $6,000,000. Hudson Bay’s commitment shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by (i) any cash or capital raised by Vringo, Innovate/Protect and/or any of their subsidiaries (each a “Vringo entity” and, together the “Vringo entities”), including, without limitation, through the issuance of any debt, equity and/or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into equity of any of the Vringo entities or the incurrence of indebtedness by any of the Vringo entities and (ii) any cash received by any Vringo entity in connection with the exercise of any of its outstanding warrants. Any such financing provided under such facility will be in the form of senior secured notes at an interest rate of the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 300 basis points and (ii) 8% per annum with a maturity of seven years after issuance. Such obligations will be guaranteed by each of the Vringo entities and secured by a first priority lien on all assets of the Vringo entities. In addition, both Innovate/Protect and the holder of the notes will be able to require redemption of all or any portion of the Notes at any time after 18 months following the consummation of the Merger, subject to an interest make-whole through maturity. In addition to other covenants to be mutually agreed between Innovate/Protect and Hudson Bay, the Vringo entities will not spend cash during any calendar quarter while any notes are outstanding at a rate greater than the amount specified in the capital budget of Vringo and its subsidiaries, prepared on a combined basis, agreed to by Hudson Bay, without the prior written consent of Hudson Bay.

The Vringo board of directors recommends that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, be approved by the stockholders of Vringo.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The opinion of counsel relied on certain assumptions as well as representations made by Vringo, Merger Sub and Innovate/Protect, including factual representations and certifications contained in officers’ certificates to be delivered at closing, and assumed that these representations are true, correct and complete, without regard to any knowledge limitation. If any of these representations or assumptions are inconsistent with the actual facts, the opinion could become invalid as a result, and the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the merger could be adversely affected. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court. No ruling has been, or will be, sought from the Internal Revenue Service as to the tax consequences of the Merger.

The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. As a result of the “reorganization,” Innovate/Protect stockholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of their shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock for the equity securities of Vringo in connection with the Merger. However, an Innovate/Protect stockholder who perfects appraisal rights and receives cash in exchange for such stockholder’s Innovate/Protect capital stock will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in those shares. Vringo stockholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the Merger to a particular Vringo or Innovate/Protect stockholder will depend in part on such stockholder’s circumstances. Accordingly, Vringo and Innovate/Protect urge you to consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the Merger to you, including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger, see the section entitled, “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 86.

However, if you submit a proxy card and affirmatively elect to abstain from voting, your proxy will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum for the Vringo annual meeting, but will not be voted at the Vringo annual meeting. As a result, your abstention will have the same effect as voting AGAINST Vringo Proposal Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 and will have no effect on Vringo Proposal Nos. 4 and 6.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If your shares of Vringo common stock are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the Vringo annual meeting. However, since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Vringo annual meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the broker or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares in person at the Vringo annual meeting.

The Merger

Vringo and Innovate/Protect have entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL at the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), Innovate/Protect will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vringo. The board of directors of Vringo has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger. The board of directors of Innovate/Protect has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

What Innovate/Protect Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger

Upon completion of the Merger, each Innovate/Protect common stockholder will have the right to receive, for each share of the outstanding common stock of Innovate/Protect they hold, a number of shares of Vringo common stock multiplied by the Common Stock Exchange Ratio, which shall initially be 3.0176, which is subject to adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split to provide the holders of shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock with the same economic benefit as contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to any such reverse stock split. Each share of Innovate/Protect preferred stock will automatically be converted into the right to receive the same number of shares of Vringo preferred stock, which 6,673 shares, as of June 20, 2012, shall be initially convertible into an aggregate of 20,136,445 shares of Vringo common stock (or at current conversion rate of 3,017.6). In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, Vringo will issue to the holders of Innovate/Protect capital stock and the holder of Innovate/Protect’s issued and outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock (on a pro rata as-converted basis) an aggregate of 15,959,838 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,959,838 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. The issued and outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock will be exchanged for 250,000 shares of Vringo common stock and 850,000 warrants to purchase 850,000 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. In addition, the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock and the aggregate number of warrants (and the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock that may be purchased upon exercise thereof) to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding warrant of Innovate/Protect shall each be ratably adjusted to give effect to any partial exercise of such warrant prior to the effective time of the Merger. Finally, at the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Innovate/Protect common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into options to purchase Vringo common stock with the number of shares subject to and the exercise price applicable to such options being appropriately adjusted based on the Common Stock Exchange Ratio. Immediately following the completion of the Merger

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(without taking into account any shares of Vringo common stock held by Innovate/Protect stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger), the former stockholders of Innovate/Protect are expected to own approximately 55.98% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 67.69% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis) and the current stockholders of Vringo are expected to own approximately 44.02% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 32.31% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis). Based on current data if the Merger had been completed on June 8, 2012, the record date for the Vringo annual meeting, an aggregate of 18,113,169 shares of Vringo common stock would have been issuable to Innovate/Protect common stockholders and the warrant holder, and an aggregate of 6,673 shares of Vringo preferred stock initially convertible into 20,136,445 shares of Vringo common stock on such date would have been issuable to Innovate/Protect stockholders upon completion of the Merger.

The Common Stock Exchange Ratio and the number of shares for which the Innovate/Protect preferred stock shall be convertible into shall not be adjusted without the prior written consent of Innovate/Protect; provided, however that such prior written consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed with regard to any such adjustments being made with respect to a reverse split of the equity securities of Vringo undertaken for the purpose of maintaining Vringo’s listing on NYSE MKT or any other consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority.

No fractional shares of Vringo common stock or Vringo preferred stock will be issued to Innovate/Protect stockholders in connection with the Merger. Instead, Innovate/Protect stockholders will be entitled to receive the next highest number of whole shares of Vringo common or preferred stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Vringo common or preferred stock that they would otherwise be entitled to receive in connection with the Merger.

For a more complete discussion of what Innovate/Protect stockholders will receive in connection with the Merger and the formula that will be used to calculate the Exchange Ratios, see the sections entitled “The Merger — What Innovate/Protect Stockholders Will Receive in the Merger” and “The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration” beginning on pages 64 and 90, respectively.

Ownership of the Combined Company After the Completion of the Merger

Upon completion of the Merger and regardless of the exact Exchange Ratios (or any reverse stock split), the former stockholders of Innovate/Protect (without taking into account any shares of Vringo common stock held by Innovate/Protect stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger) are expected to own approximately 56.30% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 67.55% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis) and the current stockholders of Vringo are expected to own approximately 43.70% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 32.45% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis).

Treatment of Innovate/Protect Stock Options and Warrants

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Innovate/Protect common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into and become an option to purchase Vringo common stock and Vringo will assume such Innovate/Protect stock option in accordance with the terms of the Innovate/Protect 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. After the effective time of the Merger, (a) each Innovate/Protect stock option assumed by Vringo may be exercised solely for shares of Vringo common stock and (b) the number of shares of Vringo common stock and the exercise price subject to each Innovate/Protect stock option assumed by Vringo shall be determined by the Common Stock Exchange Ratio. Therefore, at the effective time of the Merger, the outstanding and unexercised Innovate/Protect stock options to purchase 13,646 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into and become options to purchase an aggregate of 41,178 shares of Vringo common stock at an exercise price of $0.994 per share.

At the effective time of the Merger, Vringo will issue to the holders of Innovate/Protect capital stock and the holder of Innovate/Protect’s issued and outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock (on a pro rata as-converted basis) an aggregate of 15,959,838 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,959,838 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each

subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. The issued and outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect common stock will be exchanged for 250,000 shares of Vringo common stock and 850,000 warrants to purchase 850,000 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split.

As of June 20, 2012, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, there were outstanding options to purchase 13,646 shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock and an outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock.

For a more complete discussion of the treatment of Innovate/Protect stock options and warrants, see the section entitled “The Merger — Treatment of Innovate/Protect Stock Options and Warrants” beginning on page 65.

Treatment of Vringo Stock Options; Change of Control Payments

Upon the change of control in connection with the consummation of the Merger, there will be a one year acceleration of option vesting for all Vringo’s option holders for grants prior to the consummation of the Merger, except for Andrew D. Perlman who will be entitled to 50% acceleration for all of his unvested options granted to him prior to him becoming Chief Executive Officer of Vringo. In addition, directors of Vringo, other than Mr. Perlman, departing within six months from a subsequent change of control would receive full acceleration of vesting for any unvested options and extension of the termination period for option exercises to one year from cessation of board service.

Board of Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company After the Completion of the Merger

Upon completion of the Merger, the combined company will have a seven member board of directors, comprised of Seth M. Siegel, as Chairman, Andrew D. Perlman, John Engelman, all of whom are currently members of the Vringo board of directors, and Andrew Kennedy Lang, Alexander R. Berger, Donald E. Stout and H. Van Sinclair, all of whom are currently members of the Innovate/Protect board of directors.

The executive management team of the combined company is expected to be composed of the following individuals:

Name		Current Position		Position with the Combined Company

Recommendations of the Vringo Board of Directors and its Reasons for the Merger

The Vringo board of directors, after considering the factors described in the section entitled “The Merger — Recommendations of the Vringo Board of Directors and its Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 73, has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. The Vringo board of directors has determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Vringo and its stockholders, and therefore recommends that the Vringo stockholders vote FOR the Securities Issuance Proposal, FOR the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, FOR the Authorized Shares Increase Proposal, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, FOR the election of the seven (7) director nominees set forth in the Election of Directors Proposal, FOR the approval of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, FOR the Ratification of the Appointment of Vringo’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Proposal and FOR the adjournment of the Vringo annual meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the Vringo Merger Proposals.

Opinion of Etico Capital to the Vringo Board of Directors

The board of directors of Vringo engaged Etico Capital, a division of Olympus Securities LLC (“Etico Capital”), to render an opinion to the board of directors as to whether the Merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of Vringo. The board of directors selected Etico Capital based on the reputation and investment banking experience of Etico Capital and its principals. Etico Capital provides investment banking services, including merger and acquisition advisory services, to a wide range of companies in various industries. On March 11, 2012, Etico Capital provided the Vringo board of directors with a presentation and a draft of the fairness opinion. On March 12, 2012, Etico Capital delivered its final written opinion to the Vringo board of directors that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions and limitations set forth in its written opinion, the Merger consideration to be issued is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of Vringo common stock (other than those who own, or whose affiliates own, securities of Innovate/Protect, regarding which Etico Capital expressed no view).

The full text of the written opinion, dated as of March 12, 2012, of Etico Capital is attached as Annex H to this proxy statement/prospectus. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by Etico Capital. Holders of Vringo common stock are urged to, and should, read the Etico Capital opinion carefully and in its entirety. The Etico Capital opinion is directed to the Vringo board of directors and addresses only the fairness of the Merger consideration from a financial point of view to holders of Vringo common stock (other than those who own, or whose affiliates own, securities of Innovate/Protect, regarding which Etico Capital expressed no view) as of the date of the opinion. The Etico Capital opinion does not address any other aspect of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Vringo common stock as to how to vote on the Vringo Merger Proposals at the annual meeting. Etico Capital’s opinion does not address the underlying business decision to enter into the Merger Agreement or the Merger, nor does it evaluate alternative opportunities, alternative transaction structures or other financial or strategic alternatives. The summary of the Etico Capital opinion set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.

Ownership Interests

The following table sets forth information as of June 20, 2012, regarding the beneficial ownership of the combined company for each executive officer and director of Vringo and Innovate/Protect following the completion of the Merger. Percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated in relation to 32,357,329 shares of common stock of the combined company outstanding upon completion of the Merger, assuming that the Common Stock Exchange Ratio to be used in connection with the Merger is approximately 3.0176 shares of Vringo common stock for each share of Innovate/Protect capital stock (without giving effect to the proposed reverse stock split described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus). Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, which generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to those securities, and includes shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock, and if applicable, shares of Vringo common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or other securities that are exercisable or convertible into shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock or Vringo common stock, as applicable, within 60 days of June 20, 2012. The table also sets forth the total number of additional options that each executive officer and director of Innovate/Protect will have the right to acquire following the Merger, but which are not exercisable within 60 days of June 20, 2012.

Name		Total Shares to be Beneficially Owned Following the Merger				Total Additional Options to be Held Following the Merger				Combined Company Beneficial Ownership Percentage Following the Merger
Andrew D. Perlman			607,381				331,453				1.8	%
Seth M. Siegel			619,289				214,583				1.9	%

Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Merger

The Merger will be treated by Vringo as a reverse merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For accounting purposes, Innovate/Protect is considered to be acquiring Vringo in this transaction. For a more complete discussion of the anticipated accounting treatment of the Merger, see the section entitled “The Merger — Anticipated Accounting Treatment” beginning on page 84.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

The Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. has rendered its written opinion regarding such qualification. As a result of the “reorganization,” Innovate/Protect stockholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of their shares of Innovate/Protect capital

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stock for the equity securities of Vringo in connection with the Merger. However, an Innovate/Protect stockholder who perfects appraisal rights and receives cash in exchange for such stockholder’s Innovate/Protect capital stock will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in those shares. Vringo stockholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Merger.

The opinion of counsel relied on certain assumptions as well as representations made by Vringo, Merger Sub and Innovate/Protect, including factual representations and certifications contained in officers’ certificates to be delivered at closing, and assumed that these representations are true, correct and complete, without regard to any knowledge limitation. If any of these representations or assumptions are inconsistent with the actual facts, the opinion could become invalid as a result, and the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the merger could be adversely affected. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court. No ruling has been, or will be, sought from the Internal Revenue Service as to the tax consequences of the Merger.

Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the Merger to a particular Vringo or Innovate/Protect stockholder will depend in part on such stockholder’s circumstances. Accordingly, Vringo and Innovate/Protect urge you to consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the Merger to you, including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

Pursuant to a letter agreement between Vringo and Hudson Bay, Hudson Bay is prohibited from selling Merger Shares (as hereinafter defined) at a price lower than $2.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations or other similar transactions) to the extent that the sale of such shares on any trading day is in excess of the greater of (i) 15% of the daily trading volume of all shares of Vringo common stock traded on such trading day, and (ii) 5,000 Merger Shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations or other similar transactions). “Merger Shares” means (i) shares of Vringo common stock issued to Hudson Bay, (ii) shares of Vringo common stock issued upon exercise of any Series 1 Warrants or Series 2 Warrants issued to Hudson Bay pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in the forms attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F and Annex G, respectively, and (iii) shares of Vringo common stock issued upon conversion of the Vringo preferred stock. This restriction is in place from the closing date until the date upon which Vringo gives notice of termination to Hudson Bay pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In exchange, from the closing date until 30 days after Vringo terminates the transfer restriction described above, Vringo will not, directly or indirectly, subject to certain exceptions, effect any Subsequent Placement (as hereinafter defined) unless Vringo has provided notice to Hudson Bay and offered to issue and sell to Hudson Bay 25% of the securities being offered in such Subsequent Placement. “Subsequent Placement” means, subject to certain exceptions, any direct or indirect offer, sale (including any sale of any option to purchase or other disposition of) of any of Vringo’s or its subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common stock or common stock equivalents.

In addition to the restrictions on transfer, sale, or encumbrance discussed in the preceding paragraph, shares of Vringo common stock and preferred stock received by Innovate/Protect stockholders who become affiliates of Vringo for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may be resold by them only in transactions permitted by Rule 144 or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act.

For a more complete discussion of the restrictions on sales of shares of Vringo common stock and preferred stock and warrants received by the Innovate/Protect stockholders and warrantholder in the Merger, see the section entitled “The Merger — Restrictions on Sales of Shares of Vringo Common Stock Received by Innovate/Protect Stockholders in the Merger” beginning on page 84.

Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, holders of Vringo common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Merger. Under the DGCL, however, holders of Innovate/Protect capital stock may be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

Regulatory Approvals

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, neither Vringo nor Innovate/Protect is required to make filings or to obtain approvals or clearances from any regulatory authorities in the U.S. or other countries to complete the Merger. In the U.S., Vringo must comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations of the NYSE MKT in connection with the issuance of shares of Vringo common stock and preferred stock and the resulting change in control of Vringo and the filing of this proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC.

Conditions to the Completion of the Merger

Vringo and Innovate/Protect expect to complete the Merger as soon as possible following the approval of the Vringo Merger Proposals at the annual meeting. Completion of the Merger will only be possible, however, after all closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived, including after Vringo receives stockholder approval at the annual meeting. It is possible, therefore, that factors outside of each company’s control could require them to complete the Merger at a later time or not complete it at all.

The obligations of Vringo and Innovate/Protect to consummate the Merger are each subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under applicable law) of the following conditions, among others and subject, in some cases, to the exceptions or limitations contained in confidential disclosure schedules delivered to each party by the other:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Termination Fees and Expenses

Under certain circumstances, if the Merger is terminated by either Vringo or Innovate/Protect, then Innovate/Protect shall pay to Vringo, a fee in cash equal to $5,000,000.

Under certain circumstances, if the Merger is terminated by either Vringo or Innovate/Protect in connection with or due to Vringo entering into an alternate transaction constituting a superior proposal, then Vringo shall pay to Innovate/Protect, a fee equal to 5% of the consideration paid to all security holders of Vringo in connection with the Vringo Superior Proposal in the same form as such consideration is paid to such security holders.

For a more complete discussion of termination fees and expenses, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Expenses” beginning on page 97.

Voting by Vringo Directors and Executive Officers

As of June 20, 2012, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, directors and executive officers of Vringo beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 243,053 shares of Vringo common stock, or approximately 1.73% of the total outstanding voting power of Vringo. It is expected that Vringo’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares FOR the approval of the Merger, although none of them has entered into any agreement requiring them to do so.

Rights of Innovate/Protect Stockholders Will Change as a Result of the Merger

Due to differences between the governing documents of Vringo and Innovate/Protect, Innovate/Protect stockholders receiving Vringo common stock and preferred stock in connection with the Merger will have different rights once they become Vringo stockholders. The material differences are described in detail under the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Vringo Stockholders and Innovate/Protect Stockholders” beginning on page 197.

Risk Factors

The Merger, including the possibility that the Merger may not be completed, poses a number of risks to each company and its respective stockholders, including the following:

In addition, each of Vringo, Innovate/Protect, and the combined company is subject to various risks associated with its business. The risks are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 41. Vringo encourages you to read and consider all of these risks carefully.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The following summary unaudited pro forma combined financial data is intended to show how the Merger might have affected historical financial statements if the Merger had been completed on June 8, 2011, for the purposes of the statements of operations, and March 31, 2012, for the purposes of the balance sheet, and was prepared based on the historical financial statements and results of operations reported by Vringo and Innovate/Protect. The following should be read in conjunction with the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 188 and the audited historical financial statements of Vringo and Innovate/Protect and the notes thereto beginning on pages F-1 and F-52, respectively, the sections entitled “Vringo’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 129 and “Innovate/Protect’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 156, and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus. The following information does not give effect to the proposed reverse stock split of Vringo common stock described in Vringo Proposal No. 2.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (hereafter — GAAP), require that for each business combination, one of the combining entities shall be identified as the acquirer, and the existence of a controlling financial interest shall be used to identify the acquirer in a business combination. In a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer usually is the entity that issues its equity interests. However, it is sometimes not clear which party is the acquirer. In these situations, the acquirer for accounting purposes may not be the legal acquirer (i.e., the entity that issues its equity interest to effect the business combination).

If a business combination has occurred, but it is not clear which of the combining entities is the acquirer, GAAP requires considering additional factors in making that determination. No hierarchy is provided to explain how to assess factors that influence the identification of the acquirer in a business combination, effectively concluding that no one of the criteria is more significant than any other. However, the more significant the differential in the voting interest of the combining entities, the more difficult it is to conclude that the entity with the largest voting interest is not the acquirer.

Based on the aforementioned, and after taking in consideration all relevant facts and circumstances (which included, among others, the composition of the senior management and the governing body of the combined entity, relative size of the entities prior to the Merger), we came to a conclusion that, in light of the significant differential in the voting interest of the combining entities (both on current holdings basis and on diluted basis), Innovate/Protect is the accounting acquirer, as it is defined in FASB Topic ASC 805 “Business Combinations”.

As a result, the Merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition. In the post-combination consolidated financial statements, Innovate/Protect’s assets and liabilities will be presented at its pre-combination amounts, and Vringo’s assets and liabilities will be recorded and measured at fair value. In addition, the consolidated equity will reflect Vringo’s common and preferred stock, at par value, as Vringo is the legal acquirer. The total consolidated equity will consist of Innovate/Protect’s equity just before the merger, plus the fair value of assumed assets of Vringo, net, as well as, adjustments to equity caused by the consummation of the Merger, as per the guidance for business combinations in ASC 805.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the regulations of the SEC. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the Merger are based upon the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP, and upon the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

The summary unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 combines the historical balance sheets of Vringo and Innovate/Protect as of March 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on March 31, 2012.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The summary unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the periods from June 8, 2011 through December 31, 2011 and from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012 combine the historical statements of operations of Vringo for the periods from June 8, 2011 to December 31, 2011 and from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012, and of Innovate/Protect from inception (June 8, 2011) to December 31, 2011 and from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012 and gives pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on June 8, 2011.

The historical financial data has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on management’s estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the acquisition and certain other adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, and are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that actually would have been realized had the entities been combined during the periods presented. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements (see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 188), the preliminary acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual amounts that will be recorded upon completion of the Merger.

The 6,818 outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred stock shares, $0.0001 par value, issued by Innovate/Protect were classified as mezzanine equity, as the holder had the right to require the Company to redeem these shares in cash, upon occurrence of a triggering event which is outside the control of the company. The 6,818 Series A Convertible Preferred stock shares, $0.01 par value, to be issued by Vringo to former stockholders of Innovate/Protect, as part of this Merger, were classified as equity, as cash based redemption event is only triggered by events fully controlled by the company. As a result, in these pro forma consolidated financial statements, Innovate/Protect’s mezzanine equity, in the total amount of $1,761 thousand, was cancelled, as, according to GAAP, these pro forma consolidated financial statements will only include the 6,818 Series A Convertible Preferred stock, presented at par value.

MARKET PRICE DATA AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION

Market Price

The table below sets forth, for the calendar quarters indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of Vringo common stock, which trades on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “VRNG.” Vringo’s fiscal year ends on December 31^st.

The closing price as of June 20, 2012 was $4.19.

Innovate/Protect is a private company and shares of its capital stock are not publicly traded.

Record Holders

As of June 20, 2012, Vringo had 22 stockholders of record.

Dividends

Vringo has not declared or paid any cash dividend on its capital stock during the two most recent fiscal years. Any determination to pay dividends to holders of Vringo common stock in the future will be at the discretion of the Vringo board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including Vringo’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that the Vringo board of directors considers appropriate.

On March 14, 2012, the trading day of the announcement of the Merger, the last reported sale price of Vringo’s common stock was $1.84, for an aggregate market value of Vringo of $25.5 million, or $48.7 million on a fully diluted basis. On June 20, 2012, the latest practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the last reported sale price of Vringo’s common stock was $4.19, for an aggregate market value of Vringo of $59.7 million, or $110.2 million on a fully diluted basis. Assuming the issuance on such date of an aggregate of 18,113,169 shares of Vringo common stock based on a common stock Exchange Ratio of 3.0176, an aggregate of 6,673 shares of Vringo preferred stock, an aggregate of 16,809,838 of Vringo warrants and options to purchase an aggregate of 41,178 shares of Vringo common stock if the Merger was completed on such date, the market value attributable to the shares of Vringo common stock to be issued to Innovate/Protect’s stockholders in the aggregate, or approximately 67.69% of the outstanding shares of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis, would equal $231 million.

The following table sets forth information as of June 20, 2012, regarding the beneficial ownership of the combined company upon completion of the Merger by (i) each person known by the management of Vringo and Innovate/Protect that is expected to become the beneficial owner of 5% of the common stock of the combined company upon completion of the Merger, (ii) each director and named executive officer of the combined company, and (iii) all directors and named executive officers of the combined company as a group.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based solely on a review of Vringo capital stock transfer records and on publicly available filings made with the SEC by or on behalf of the stockholders listed below and on Innovate/Protect’s stock ledger. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes, the address for each listed stockholder is: c/o Innovate/Protect, Inc., 380 Madison Avenue, 22nd Floor, New York, New York 10017.

Percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 14,244,160 shares of Vringo common stock outstanding as of June 20, 2012 and 12,592,661 shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock outstanding as of June 20, 2012 (which includes 6,673 shares of preferred stock and 5,919,661 shares of common stock). The percent of common stock of the combined company is based on 32,357,329 shares of common stock of the combined company outstanding upon completion of the Merger and assumes that the Exchange Ratio to be used in connection with the Merger is approximately 3.0176 shares of Vringo common stock for each share of Innovate/Protect capital stock (without giving effect to the proposed reverse stock split described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus). Shares of Vringo common stock subject to stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after June 20, 2012 are treated as outstanding and beneficially owned by the holder of such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the combined company’s common stock of such holder, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the combined company’s common stock of any other stockholder. Shares of Innovate/Protect common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 20, 2012 are treated as outstanding and beneficially owned by the holder of such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the combined company’s common stock of such holder, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the combined company’s common stock of any other stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated, Vringo and Innovate/Protect believe that each of the persons named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Because the market price of Vringo common stock is subject to fluctuation, the market value of the shares of Vringo common stock that holders of Innovate/Protect capital stock will receive in the Merger may increase or decrease. The foregoing information reflects only historical information.

Following the completion of the Merger and successful reapplication to the NYSE MKT for initial inclusion of the Vringo common stock on the NYSE MKT, the common stock of Vringo, including the shares of Vringo common stock issued to Innovate/Protect stockholders in connection with the Merger, will continue to be listed on the NYSE MKT.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus contain or may contain forward-looking statements of Vringo within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which is applicable to Vringo but not to Innovate/Protect because Vringo, unlike Innovate/Protect, is a public company subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. For this purpose, any statements contained herein, other than statements of historical fact, may be forward-looking statements under the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Statements that include words such as may, will, project, might, expect, believe, anticipate, intend, could, would, estimate, continue or pursue or the negative of these words or other words or expressions of similar meaning may identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents referred to and relate to a variety of matters, including but not limited to (i) the timing and anticipated completion of the Merger, (ii) the benefits expected to result from the Merger, (iii) the anticipated business of the combined company following the completion of the Merger, and (iv) other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of the current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of management are not guarantees of performance and are subject to significant risks and uncertainty. These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus and those that are referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to:

In addition to the risk factors identified elsewhere, various important risks and uncertainties affecting each of Vringo and Innovate/Protect may cause the actual results of the combined company to differ materially from the results indicated by the forward-looking statement in this proxy statement/prospectus, including without limitation:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or, in the case of documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus, as of the date of those documents. Vringo disclaims any obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information included and referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 39, you should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding how to vote your shares of Vringo common stock at the Vringo annual meeting. These factors should be considered in conjunction with the other information included by Vringo in this proxy statement/prospectus. If any of the risks described below or referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus actually materialize, the business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects of Vringo, Innovate/Protect, and/or the combined company, or the stock price of Vringo and/or the combined company, could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Merger

The issuance of Vringo’s securities to Innovate/Protect security holders in connection with the Merger will substantially dilute the voting power of current Vringo stockholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, it is anticipated that Vringo will issue to Innovate/Protect common and preferred stockholders shares of Vringo common stock and Vringo preferred stock, and warrants to purchase shares of Vringo common stock. After such issuance (without taking into account any shares of Vringo common stock held by Innovate/Protect stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger), the stockholders of Innovate/Protect are expected to own approximately 55.98% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 67.69% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis) and the stockholders of Vringo are expected to own approximately 44.02% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 32.31% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis). Accordingly, the issuance of shares of Vringo common stock to Innovate/Protect stockholders in connection with the Merger will significantly reduce the relative voting power of each share of Vringo common stock held by current Vringo stockholders.

The announcement and pendency of the Merger could have an adverse effect on the business prospects for Vringo and/or Innovate/Protect and on Vringo’s stock price and/or business, financial condition or results of operations.

While there have been no significant adverse effects to date, the announcement and pendency of the Merger could disrupt Vringo’s and/or Innovate/Protect’s prospective and current businesses in the following ways, among others:

Should they occur, any of these matters could adversely affect the stock price of Vringo or harm the financial condition, results of operations, or business prospects of Vringo, Innovate/Protect, and/or the combined company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Failure to complete the Merger or delays in completing the Merger could negatively impact Vringo’s business, financial condition, or results of operations or Vringo’s stock price.

The completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions and there can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied at all or satisfied in a timely manner. If the Merger is not completed or delayed, Vringo will be subject to several risks, including:

If the Merger is not completed, these risks may materialize and materially and adversely affect Vringo’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and Vringo’s stock price.

Any delay in completing the Merger may substantially reduce the benefits that Vringo expects to obtain from the Merger.

In addition to obtaining the approval of the stockholders of each of Vringo and Innovate/Protect for the consummation of the Merger, the Merger is subject to a number of other conditions beyond the control of Vringo that may prevent, delay, or otherwise materially adversely affect its completion. Vringo cannot predict whether or when the conditions required to complete the Merger will be satisfied. The requirements for satisfying the closing conditions could delay the completion of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the Merger may materially adversely affect the benefits that Vringo expects to achieve if the Merger and the integration of the companies’ respective businesses are completed within the expected timeframe.

NYSE MKT considers the anticipated Merger a “reverse merger” and therefore has required that Vringo submit a new listing application, which requires certain actions on the part of the combined company which may not be successful and, if unsuccessful, could make it more difficult for holders of shares of the combined company to sell their shares.

NYSE MKT considers the Merger proposed in this proxy statement/prospectus a “reverse merger” and has required that Vringo submit a new listing application. NYSE MKT may not approve Vringo’s new listing application for the NYSE MKT on a timely basis, or at all. If this occurs and the Merger is still completed, you may have difficulty converting your investments into cash effectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, as part of the new listing application, Vringo may be required to submit, among other things, a plan for the combined company to conduct a reverse stock split. A reverse stock split would likely increase the per share trading price by an as yet undetermined multiple. The change in share price may affect the volatility and liquidity of the combined company’s stock, as well as the marketplace’s perception of the stock. As a result, the relative price of the combined company’s stock may decline and/or fluctuate more than in the past, and you may have trouble converting your investments in the combined company into cash effectively.

Some of the directors and executive officers of Vringo have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of the other Vringo stockholders.

When considering the recommendation by the Vringo board of directors that the Vringo stockholders vote “for” each of the Vringo Merger Proposals, Vringo’s stockholders should be aware that certain of the directors and executive officers of Vringo have arrangements that provide them with interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of the stockholders of Vringo.

For instance, in connection with the Merger, (i) each of Seth M. Siegel, Andrew D. Perlman and John Engelman, each a current director of the Vringo board of directors, will continue to serve as a director of the combined company following the completion of the Merger, and the remaining directors of Vringo will resign, effective as of the completion of the Merger, (ii) Andrew D. Perlman and Ellen Cohl, currently executive officers of Vringo, will remain executive officers of the combined company following the completion of the Merger, (iii) upon the change of control in connection with the consummation of the Merger, there will be a one year acceleration of option vesting for option holders for option grants prior to the consummation of the Merger, except for Andrew D. Perlman who will be entitled to 50% acceleration for all of his unvested options granted to him prior to him becoming Chief Executive Officer of Vringo; and (iv) directors of Vringo, other than Mr. Perlman, departing within six months from a subsequent change of control would receive full acceleration of vesting for any unvested options and extension of the termination period for option exercises to one year from cessation of board service.

In addition, the directors and executive officers of Vringo also have certain rights to indemnification and to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that will be provided by the combined company following the completion of the Merger. See the sections entitled “The Merger — Interests of Vringo Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 82.

On March 11, 2012, in connection with the appointment of Andrew D. Perlman as Chief Executive Officer, the Vringo board of directors approved an increase in Mr. Perlman’s salary to $250,000 per year and the payment of severance for one year in the event he is no longer the Chief Executive Officer in connection with a change of control. In addition, the Vringo board of directors approved the grant of options to purchase 450,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.65 per share. Vringo and Mr. Perlman expect to enter into an amendment to his employment agreement to memorialize the foregoing terms.

The Vringo board of directors was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and in recommending that Vringo stockholders approve the Vringo Merger Proposals.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage or make it difficult for a third party to acquire Vringo prior to the completion of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that make it difficult for Vringo to entertain a third-party proposal for an acquisition of Vringo. These provisions include the general prohibition on Vringo’s soliciting or engaging in discussions or negotiations regarding any alternative acquisition proposal. In addition, under certain circumstances, if the Merger is terminated by either Vringo or Innovate/Protect in connection with or due to Vringo entering into an alternate transaction constituting a superior proposal, then Vringo is required to pay to Innovate/Protect a fee equal to 5% of the consideration paid to all security holders of Vringo in connection with such superior proposal in the same form as such consideration is paid to such security holders. See the sections entitled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation,” “The Merger Agreement — Board Recommendations” and “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees and Expenses” beginning on pages 94, 95, and 97, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These provisions might discourage an otherwise interested third party from considering or proposing an acquisition of Vringo, even one that may be deemed of greater value than the Merger to Vringo stockholders.

Innovate/Protect can terminate the Merger Agreement for any reason or no reason upon payment of a termination fee and Vringo will have no recourse against Innovate/Protect.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Innovate/Protect can terminate the Merger Agreement, at any time, for any reason or no reason, upon payment to Vringo of a termination fee equal to $5,000,000. Vringo will have no recourse against Innovate/Protect other than receiving such termination fee and would not realize any of the anticipated benefits of having completed the Merger.

If the Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, the stockholders of Innovate/Protect may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes as a result of the Merger as would Innovate/Protect.

Vringo and Innovate/Protect intend that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code. Vringo and Innovate/Protect currently anticipate that the U.S. holders of shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the Merger. However, neither Vringo nor Innovate/Protect has requested, or intends to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the tax consequences of the Merger, and there can be no assurance that the companies’ position would be sustained if challenged by the IRS. Accordingly, if there is a final determination that the Merger does not qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code and is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Innovate/Protect stockholders generally would recognize taxable gain or loss on their receipt of equity securities of Vringo in connection with the Merger equal to the difference between such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in their shares of Innovate/Protect capital stock and the fair market value of the equity securities of Vringo. Moreover, Innovate/Protect would recognize gain on the net appreciation in its assets since it would be deemed to have sold all of its assets in a taxable sale to Merger Sub. For a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 86.

Litigation may be instituted against Vringo, members of the Vringo board of directors, Innovate/Protect, members of the Innovate/Protect board of directors, and Merger Sub challenging the Merger and adverse judgments in these lawsuits may prevent the Merger from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.

Vringo, members of the Vringo board of directors, Innovate/Protect, members of the Innovate/Protect board of directors, and Merger Sub may be named as defendants in class action lawsuits to be brought by Vringo of Innovate/Protect stockholders challenging the Merger. If the plaintiffs in these potential cases are successful, they may prevent the parties from completing the Merger in the expected timeframe, if at all. Even if the plaintiffs in these potential actions are not successful, the costs of defending against such claims could adversely affect the financial condition of Vringo or Innovate/Protect.

Risks Related to the Combined Company if the Merger Is Completed

The failure to integrate successfully the businesses of Vringo and Innovate/Protect in the expected timeframe could adversely affect the combined company’s future results following the completion of the Merger.

The success of the Merger will depend, in large part, on the ability of the combined company following the completion of the Merger to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of Vringo and Innovate/Protect.

The failure to integrate successfully and to manage successfully the challenges presented by the integration process may result in the combined company’s failure to achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process include the following:

Vringo may not realize the potential value and benefits created by the Merger.

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on Vringo’s ability to realize the expected potential value and benefits created from integrating Vringo’s existing business with Innovate/Protect’s business, which includes the maximization of the economic benefits of the combined company’s intellectual property portfolio. The integration process may be complex, costly, and time-consuming. The difficulties of integrating the operations of Innovate/Protect’s business could include, among others:

Vringo may not accomplish the integration of Innovate/Protect’s business smoothly, successfully, or within the anticipated costs or time frame. The diversion of the attention of management from Vringo’s current operations to the integration effort and any difficulties encountered in combining businesses could prevent Vringo from realizing the full expected potential value and benefits to result from the Merger and could adversely affect its business. In addition, the integration efforts could divert the focus and resources of the management of Vringo and Innovate/Protect from other strategic opportunities and operational matters during the integration process.

The combined company will be dependent on certain key personnel, and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The success and future prospects of the combined company largely depend on the skills, experience and efforts of its key personnel, including Andrew D. Perlman, Vringo’s current Chief Executive Officer and President, and Andrew Kennedy Lang, Innovate/Protect’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer and President. The loss of Messrs. Perlman or Lang or other executives of the combined company, or the combined company’s failure to retain other key personnel, would jeopardize the combined company’s ability to execute its strategic plan and materially harm its business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Merger will result in changes to the Vringo board of directors and the combined company may pursue different strategies than either Vringo or Innovate/Protect may have pursued independently.

If the parties complete the Merger, the composition of the Vringo board of directors will change in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Following the completion of the Merger, the combined company’s board of directors will consist of seven members, including Seth M. Siegel, as Chairman, Andrew D. Perlman, John Engelman, all of whom are currently members of the Vringo board of directors, and Andrew Kennedy Lang, Alexander R. Berger, Donald E. Stout and H. Van Sinclair, all of whom are currently members of the Innovate/Protect board of directors. Currently, it is anticipated that the combined company will maximize the economic benefits of its intellectual property portfolio, add significant talent in technological innovation and potentially enhance its opportunities for revenue generation through the monetization of the combined company’s assets. However, because the composition of the board of directors of the combined company will consist of directors from both Vringo and Innovate/Protect, the combined company may determine to pursue certain business strategies that neither Vringo nor Innovate/Protect would have pursued independently.

Ownership of the combined company’s common stock may be highly concentrated, and it may prevent you and other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could cause the combined company’s stock price to decline.

Upon completion of the Merger, Vringo’s and Innovate/Protect’s executive officers and directors continuing with the combined company and are expected to beneficially own or control approximately 40.6% of the combined company (see the sections entitled “Vringo Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 178, “Innovate/Protect Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 180 and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of the Combined Company Following the Merger” beginning on page 182 for more information on the estimated ownership of the combined company following the Merger). Accordingly, these executive officers and directors, acting individually or as a group, will have substantial influence over the outcome of a corporate action of the combined company requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the combined company’s assets or any other significant corporate transaction. These stockholders may also exert influence in delaying or preventing a change in control of the combined company, even if such change in control would benefit the other stockholders of the combined company. In addition, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the market value of the combined company’s common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

The success of the combined company will depend in part on relationships with third parties, which relationships may be affected by third-party preferences or public attitudes about the Merger. Any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The combined company’s success will be dependent on its ability to maintain and renew the business relationships of both Vringo and Innovate/Protect and to establish new business relationships. There can be no assurance that the management of the combined company will be able to maintain such business relationships, or enter into or maintain new business contracts and other business relationships, on acceptable terms, if at all. The failure to maintain important business relationships could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the combined company.

Future results of the combined company may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial statements presented in this proxy statement/prospectus and the financial forecasts prepared by Vringo and Innovate/Protect in connection with discussions concerning the Merger.

The future results of the combined company may be materially different from those shown in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements presented in this proxy statement/prospectus, which show only a combination of the historical results of Vringo and Innovate/Protect prepared by Vringo and Innovate/Protect in connection with discussions concerning the Merger. Vringo expects to incur significant costs associated with the completion of the Merger and combining the operations of the two companies. The exact magnitude of these costs are not yet known, but are estimated to be approximately $0.9 million. Furthermore,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

these costs may decrease the capital that the combined company could use for continued development of the combined company’s business in the future or may cause the combined company to seek to raise new capital sooner than expected.

The combined company will require additional capital to support its present business plan and its anticipated business growth, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, which would adversely affect the combined company’s ability to operate.

The combined company will require additional funds to further develop its business plan. Based on current operating plans of Vringo and Innovate/Protect, the current resources of the combined company are expected to be sufficient to fund its planned operations into the fourth quarter of 2012. Since it is impossible to predict the timing and amount of any recovery, if any, resulting from the Innovate/Protect Litigation, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity offerings in order to meet our liquidity requirements in the second half of 2012. After taking into effect the Merger with Innovate/Protect, additional resources that may be required for the continuation of the combined operations approximates $4.3 million and $11.8 million, for the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Any such financing that Vringo undertakes will likely be dilutive to Vringo’s current stockholders.

On June 1, 2012, Hudson Bay committed, subject to the terms and conditions of a commitment letter agreement, that, at any time within 18 months following the closing of the Merger and upon the request of Innovate/Protect, it, or, at its election, one or more of its affiliated funds or entities shall provide debt financing to Innovate/Protect in the aggregate principal amount of up to $6,000,000. Hudson Bay’s commitment shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by (i) any cash or capital raised by any of the Vringo entities, including, without limitation, through the issuance of any debt, equity and/or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into equity of any of the Vringo entities or the incurrence of indebtedness by any of the Vringo entities and (ii) any cash received by any Vringo entity in connection with the exercise of any of its outstanding warrants. Any such financing provided under such facility will be in the form of senior secured notes at an interest rate of the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 300 basis points and (ii) 8% per annum with a maturity of seven years after issuance. In addition, both Innovate/Protect and the holder of the notes will be able to require redemption of all or any portion of the Notes at any time after 18 months following the consummation of the Merger, subject to an interest make-whole through maturity. In addition to other covenants to be mutually agreed between Innovate/Protect and Hudson Bay, the Vringo entities will not spend cash during any calendar quarter while any notes are outstanding at a rate greater than the amount specified in the capital budget of Vringo and its subsidiaries, prepared on a combined basis, agreed to by Hudson Bay, without the prior written consent of Hudson Bay. The obligations of Hudson Bay or any of its affiliated funds under the commitment letter agreement will be subject to certain conditions set forth in the commitment letter agreement and will terminate as described below. Such obligations will be guaranteed by each of the Vringo entities and secured by a first priority lien on all assets of the Vringo entities. Although the combined company will have access to up to $6,000,000 of financing under this facility if it meets the conditions to the commitment, it intends not to draw down any amounts under this facility and instead will attempt to raise additional capital through equity or equity-linked financings as well as through the exercise of its outstanding warrants.

The combined company intends to continue to make investments to support its business growth, including patent or other intellectual property asset creation. In addition, the combined company may also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including its ongoing operating expenses, protecting its assets, satisfying debt payment obligations, developing new lines of business and enhancing its operating infrastructure. While the combined company will need to seek additional funding, it may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of the combined company’s financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of its common stock. The combined company may also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. The combined company may not be able to negotiate arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If the combined company is unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, it may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of its business plans.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Vringo preferred stock to be issued to the holders of Innovate/Protect preferred stock will have the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as will be set forth in a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E which is to be filed by Vringo prior to closing. The rights of the holders of Vringo preferred stock could adversely affect the combined company’s ability to raise additional funds, in particular, the Vringo preferred stock contains a covenant prohibiting Vringo, for a period of 18 months following the closing, from incurring indebtedness senior to the Vringo preferred stock in excess of $6 million in the aggregate (including the then outstanding principal amount of existing Innovate/Protect indebtedness); provided, that, this covenant shall not apply to indebtedness secured by assets of Vringo acquired after the closing in which the lender expressly subordinates to the holder of the Vringo preferred stock. In addition, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Vringo may not currently incur any indebtedness without the consent of Innovate/Protect. As of May 31, 2012, the indebtedness of Vringo and Innovate/Protect were zero and $3.2 million, respectively. Therefore, following the consummation of the Merger, Vringo may incur up to $2.8 million of debt senior to the Vringo preferred stock without violating the provisions of the Vringo preferred stock (in addition to any amounts up to $6,000,000 that may be drawn down by Innovate/Protect under the Hudson Bay debt facility).

The combined company’s business and financial condition could be constrained by the debt incurred in connection with the Merger.

Innovate/Protect is obligated under a senior secured note payable to Hudson Bay with an outstanding balance of $3,200,000 as of December 31, 2011. The senior secured note accrues interest at 0.46% per annum and matures on June 22, 2014. Hudson Bay has the option of requiring Innovate/Protect to redeem up to $2,000,000 aggregate principal of the senior secured note beginning March 22, 2012. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 12, 2012, by and between Innovate/Protect and Hudson Bay, Hudson Bay agreed not to exercise its right of redemption until the earlier of (i) any termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement or (ii) the effective time of the Merger; provided that if the Merger is consummated, the note will be amended and restated and the holder may exercise any and all rights and remedies pursuant to such amended and restated note delivered at the closing of the Merger, including with respect to any optional redemption provisions contained therein. If the Merger is consummated, the amended and restated note will mature on June 22, 2013 and the right of redemption described above will be amended to provide that, from and after the date upon which (i) Vringo and its subsidiaries has more than $15,000,000 in the aggregate of cash and cash equivalents, Hudson Bay may require Vringo to redeem up to 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the note, (ii) Vringo and its subsidiaries has more than $20,000,000 in the aggregate of cash and cash equivalents, Hudson Bay may require Vringo to redeem up to 100% of the outstanding principal of the Note, (iii) Vringo and its subsidiaries receives proceeds in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate from the issuance of any equity or indebtedness, Hudson Bay may require Vringo to redeem the outstanding principal under the note in an amount equal to up to 20% of the proceeds of the issuance of any such equity or indebtedness. In addition, the amended and restated note shall provide that in the event of a change of control, Hudson Bay may require Vringo to redeem all or any portion of the note at a price in cash equal to 125% of the amount redeemed. Innovate/Protect has granted Hudson Bay a security interest in all of its tangible and intangible personal property (including the Lycos’s patents) to secure its obligations under the senior secured note.

In addition, on June 1, 2012, Hudson Bay committed, subject to the terms and conditions of a commitment letter agreement, that, at any time within 18 months following the closing of the Merger and upon the request of Innovate/Protect, it or, at its election, one or more of its affiliated funds or entities shall provide debt financing to Innovate/Protect in the aggregate principal amount of up to $6,000,000. Hudson Bay’s commitment shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, as described above. Any such financing provided under such facility will be in the form of senior secured notes at an interest rate of the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 300 basis points and (ii) 8% per annum with a maturity of seven years after issuance. In addition, both Innovate/Protect and the holder of the notes will be able to require redemption of all or any portion of the Notes at any time after 18 months following the consummation of the Merger, subject to an interest make-whole through maturity. In addition to other covenants to be mutually agreed between Innovate/Protect and Hudson Bay, the Vringo entities will not spend cash during any calendar quarter while any notes

TABLE OF CONTENTS

are outstanding at a rate greater than the amount specified in the capital budget of Vringo and its subsidiaries, prepared on a combined basis, agreed to by Hudson Bay, without the prior written consent of Hudson Bay. The obligations of Hudson Bay or any of its affiliated funds under the commitment letter agreement will be subject to certain conditions set forth in the commitment letter agreement and will terminate automatically and immediately upon the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, (b) any default under or acceleration prior to maturity of any indebtedness of any Vringo entity, (c) the failure of any Vringo entity to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in the commitment letter agreement, (d) any event, which, if occurring prior to the closing of the Merger, would have resulted in the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(f) (Litigation) and 6.2(j) (Patents) of the Merger Agreement to be satisfied, (e) upon written notice to terminate the commitment letter agreement delivered by Innovate/Protect to Hudson Bay or (f) 18 months after the consummation of the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, Vringo will guaranty the senior secured note and any financing drawn down under new facility. This could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Vringo following the Merger, including limiting Vringo’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, limiting its available funds for future operations and making Vringo vulnerable to economic or industry downturns.

The price of Vringo common stock after the Merger is completed may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the shares of Vringo.

Upon completion of the Merger, holders of Innovate/Protect capital stock will become holders of Vringo common stock and preferred stock. The business of Vringo differs from the business of Innovate/Protect and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the trading price of Vringo common stock following the completion of the Merger may be significantly affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of Vringo because the combined company will be conducting activities not undertaken by Vringo prior to the completion of the Merger. For a discussion of the businesses of Vringo and Innovate/Protect and of certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the sections entitled “Vringo’s Business,” “Vringo’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Innovate/Protect’s Business,” “Innovate/Protect’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the financial statements of Vringo and Innovate/Protect, including the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Material weaknesses may exist when the combined company reports on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for purposes of its reporting requirements.

Prior to the filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, Innovate/Protect was not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”). Therefore, Innovate/Protect’s management and independent registered public accounting firm did not perform an evaluation of Innovate/Protect’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 in accordance with the provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley. Following the completion of the Merger within the expected timeframe, the combined company will be required to provide management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2012, as required by Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. Material weaknesses may exist when the combined company reports on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for purposes of its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act or Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley following the completion of the Merger. The existence of one or more material weaknesses would preclude a conclusion that the combined company maintains effective internal control over financial reporting. Such a conclusion would be required to be disclosed in the combined company’s future Annual Reports on Form 10-K and could impact the accuracy and timing of its financial reporting and the reliability of its internal control over financial reporting, which could harm the combined company’s reputation and cause the market price of its common stock to drop.

Vringo does not expect the combined company to pay cash dividends on its common stock.

Vringo anticipates that the combined company will retain its earnings, if any, for future growth and therefore does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock in the future. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in the combined company’s common stock for that purpose.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Anti-takeover provisions in the combined company’s charter and bylaws may prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change the board of directors or current management and could make a third-party acquisition of the combined company difficult.

The combined company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws will contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the combined company’s common stock.

Because the lack of a public market for Innovate/Protect’s capital stock makes it difficult to evaluate the fairness of the Merger, Innovate/Protect’s stockholders may receive consideration in the Merger that is greater than or less than the fair market value of Innovate/Protect’s capital stock.

The outstanding capital stock of Innovate/Protect is privately held and is not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market makes it difficult to determine the fair market value of Innovate/Protect. Since the percentage of Vringo common stock, preferred stock and warrants to be issued to Innovate/Protect’s stockholders was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of the Vringo common stock, preferred stock and warrants to be issued in connection with the Merger will be greater than the fair market value of Innovate/Protect. Alternatively, it is possible that the value of the shares of Vringo common stock, preferred stock and warrants to be issued in connection with the Merger will be less than the fair market value of Innovate/Protect.

If any of the events described in “Risks Related to Vringo’s Business” or “Risks Related to Innovate/Protect’s Business” occur, those events could cause the potential benefits of the Merger not to be realized.

Following the completion of the Merger, current Vringo executive officers and certain Innovate/Protect executive officers and certain Innovate/Protect and Vringo directors will direct the business and operations of the combined company. Additionally, Innovate/Protect’s business is expected to be an important part of the business of the combined company following the Merger. As a result, the risks described below in the section entitled “Risks Related to Innovate/Protect’s Business” beginning on page 58 are among the significant risks to the combined company if the Merger is completed. To the extent any of the events in the risks described below in either the section entitled “Risks Related to Vringo’s Business” or “Risks Related to Innovate/Protect’s Business” occur, those events could cause the potential benefits of the Merger not to be realized and the market price of the combined company’s common stock to decline.

Risks Related to Vringo’s Business

Vringo is currently, and after the completion of the Merger the combined company will continue to be, subject to the risks described below.

Vringo may not be able to consummate the Merger with Innovate/Protect.

The consummation of the Merger with Innovate/Protect is subject to stockholders approval and other closing conditions. Vringo has expended significant effort and management attention to the proposed transaction. There is no assurance that the Merger will be approved. For example, Vringo’s stockholders may not approve the Merger. If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, Vringo’s business and operations, as well as the market price of its stock and warrants may be adversely affected.

To date, Vringo has generated only losses, which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2012, Vringo had a cash balance of $3.6 million and $2.7 million of net working capital. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the cumulative period from inception until March 31, 2012, Vringo incurred net losses of $5.6 million, $1.1 million and $43.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, Vringo’s stockholders’ equity was $1.0 million.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Vringo expects its net losses to continue in the foreseeable future, as Vringo continues to grow its user base through carrier partnerships, continue to ensure it has broad handset reach, enhance its viral and social tools, maintain and grow its product and technology portfolio, build a strong revenue base of recurring monthly subscription revenue, find new forms of distribution, and explore monetization through advertising and revenue through content sales.

Vringo is a development stage company with no significant source of income and there is a significant doubt about Vringo’s ability to continue its activities as a going concern.

Vringo is still a development stage company. Vringo’s operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in development stage companies that do not have significant revenues or operating income. Vringo’s potential for success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business, especially technology start-up companies. Vringo cannot provide any assurance that its business objectives will be accomplished. All of Vringo’s audited consolidated financial statements, since inception, have contained a statement by Vringo’s management that raises significant doubt about Vringo being able to continue as a going concern unless Vringo is able to raise additional capital. Vringo’s financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Vringo’s operations cease.

Vringo believes that current cash levels will be sufficient to support its activity into the first quarter of 2013. The continuation of its business is dependent upon the successful consummation of the Merger with Innovate/Protect, or similar merger or acquisition, financing and upon the further development of Vringo’s products. Since it is impossible to predict the timing and amount of any recovery, if any, resulting from the Innovate/Protect Litigation, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity offerings in order to meet our liquidity requirements in the second half of 2012. After taking into effect the Merger with Innovate/Protect, additional resources that may be required for the continuation of the combined operations approximates $4.3 million and $11.8 million, for the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Any such financing that Vringo undertakes will likely be dilutive to Vringo’s current stockholders.

The exercise of a substantial number of warrants or options by Vringo’s security holders may have an adverse effect on the market price of Vringo common stock.

Should Vringo’s currently outstanding warrants be exercised, there will be an additional 7,385,364 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. In addition, Vringo currently has options outstanding to purchase 4,675,887 shares of common stock, granted as of the reporting date, to Vringo’s management, employees, directors and consultants. In March 2012, the Vringo board of directors approved participation of all outstanding options in future dividends. In addition, the vesting of all outstanding options will accelerate if the Vringo common stock reaches certain price or market capitalization targets for 20 of 30 consecutive trading dates, as follows: (i) 50% acceleration if either the price of the Vringo common stock is at least $5 or Vringo’s market capitalization is at least $250,000,000; (ii) 75% acceleration if either the price of the Vringo common stock is at least $10 or Vringo’s market capitalization is $500,000,000 or more; and (iii) 100% acceleration if either the price of the Vringo common stock is at least $20 or Vringo’s market capitalization is at least $1,000,000,000. Furthermore, all outstanding options granted to members of the board of directors shall fully vest if a member of the Vringo board of directors ceases to be a director at any time during the six-month period immediately following the change of control. Certain options that are outstanding have exercise prices that are below, and in some cases significantly below, recent market prices. Such securities, if exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, the sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and options could have an adverse effect on the market price for Vringo’s securities or on Vringo’s ability to obtain future financing. The average weighted exercise price of all currently outstanding warrants and options, as of June 20, 2012, is $3.21 per share.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Vringo will issue Innovate/Protect stockholders warrants to purchase 15,959,838 shares of Vringo common stock at an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. In addition, the issued and outstanding warrant to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect’s common stock that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Merger will be exchanged for 250,000 shares of Vringo common stock and 850,000 warrant to purchase 850,000 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. In addition, the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock and the aggregate number of warrants (and the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock that may be purchased upon exercise thereof) to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding warrant of Innovate/Protect shall each be ratably adjusted to give effect to any partial exercise of such warrant prior to the effective time of the Merger. Finally, all outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Innovate/Protect common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into options to purchase Vringo common stock with the number of shares subject to and the exercise price applicable to such options being appropriately adjusted based on the Common Stock Exchange Ratio. As a result of an approval of the Merger with Innovate/Protect, the total number of warrants and options held by Vringo’s security holders will be increased by 16,851,016 and the former stockholders of Innovate/Protect (without taking into account any shares of Vringo common stock held by Innovate/Protect stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger) are expected to own approximately 55.98% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 67.69% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis) and the current stockholders of Vringo are expected to own approximately 44.02% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 32.31% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis).

Future sales of Vringo’s shares of common stock by its stockholders could cause the market price of Vringo common stock to drop significantly, even if Vringo’s business is performing well.

As of June 20, 2012, Vringo has 14,060,424 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants or options. As shares saleable under Rule 144 are sold or as restrictions on resale need, the market price of Vringo common stock could drop significantly, if the holders of restricted shares sell them, or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. This decline in Vringo’s stock price could occur even if Vringo’s business is otherwise performing well. We filed with the SEC Registration Statements for the common shares underlying (a) the 2,526,289 of the new warrants issued in February 2012 (which registration was declared effective on June 20, 2012) (including 11,834 warrants issued to Vringo’s placement agent) and (b) 4,623,863 options currently outstanding under Vringo’s 2006 Stock Option Plan.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Vringo will issue Innovate/Protect stockholders 17,863,169 of its common stock shares and Series A Convertible Preferred stock, initially convertible into 20,136,445 of Vringo shares of common stock. In addition, the outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect’s common stock will be exchanged for 250,000 shares of Vringo common stock and 850,000 warrants to purchase 850,000 shares of Vringo common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. In addition, the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock and the aggregate number of warrants (and the aggregate number of shares of Vringo common stock that may be purchased upon exercise thereof) to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding warrant of Innovate/Protect shall each be ratably adjusted to give effect to any partial exercise of such warrant prior to the effective time of the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the number of outstanding shares of common stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) held by Vringo’s security holders will significantly increase.

If Vringo is unable to adequately protect its intellectual property, Vringo may not be able to compete effectively.

Vringo’s ability to compete depends in part upon the strength of Vringo’s proprietary rights in its technologies, brands and content. Vringo relies on a combination of U.S. and foreign patents, copyrights, trademark, trade secret laws and license agreements to establish and protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights. The efforts Vringo has taken to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective at stopping unauthorized use of its intellectual property and proprietary rights. In addition, effective trademark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available or cost-effective in every country in which Vringo’s services are made available. There may be instances where

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Vringo is not able to fully protect or utilize its intellectual property in a manner that maximizes competitive advantage. If Vringo is unable to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights from unauthorized use, the value of Vringo’s products may be reduced, which could negatively impact Vringo’s business. Vringo’s inability to obtain appropriate protections for its intellectual property may also allow competitors to enter Vringo’s markets and produce or sell the same or similar products. In addition, protecting Vringo’s intellectual property and other proprietary rights is expensive and diverts critical managerial resources. If any of the foregoing were to occur, or if Vringo is otherwise unable to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights, Vringo’s business and financial results could be adversely affected.

If Vringo is forced to resort to legal proceedings to enforce its intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive. In addition, Vringo’s proprietary rights could be at risk if Vringo is unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, those proceedings. Vringo also relies on trade secrets and contract law to protect some of its proprietary technology. Vringo has entered into confidentiality and invention agreements with its employees and consultants. Nevertheless, these agreements may not be honored and they may not effectively protect Vringo’s right to its un-patented trade secrets and know-how. Moreover, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to Vringo’s trade secrets and know-how.

The possibility of extensive delays in the patent issuance process could effectively reduce the term during which a marketed product is protected by patents.

Vringo may need to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. Vringo may not be able to obtain the licenses required under any patents or proprietary rights or they may not be available on acceptable terms. If Vringo does not obtain required licenses, Vringo may encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring licenses could be foreclosed. Vringo may, from time to time, support and collaborate in research conducted by universities and governmental research organizations. Vringo may not be able to acquire exclusive rights to the inventions or technical information derived from these collaborations, and disputes may arise over rights in derivative or related research programs conducted by Vringo or its collaborators.

If Vringo or its users infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, Vringo may have to defend against litigation and pay damages and Vringo’s business and prospects may be adversely affected.

If a third party were to assert that Vringo’s products infringe on its patent, copyright, trademark, right of publicity, right of privacy, trade secret or other intellectual property rights, Vringo could incur substantial litigation costs and be forced to pay substantial damages. Third-party infringement claims, regardless of their outcome, would not only consume significant financial resources, but would also divert Vringo’s management time and attention. Such claims or the lack of available access to certain sites or content could also cause Vringo’s customers or potential customers to purchase competitors’ products if such competitors have access to the sites or contents that Vringo is lacking or defer or limit their purchase or use of Vringo’s affected products or services until resolution of the claim. In connection with any such claim or litigation, Vringo’s mobile carriers and other partners may decide to re-assess their relationships with Vringo, especially if they perceive that they may have potential liability or if such claimed infringement is a possible breach of Vringo’s agreement with such mobile carrier. If any of Vringo’s products are found to violate third-party intellectual property rights, Vringo may have to re-engineer one or more of its products, or Vringo may have to obtain licenses from third parties to continue offering its products without substantial re-engineering. Vringo’s efforts to re-engineer or obtain licenses could require significant expenditures of time and money and may not be successful. Accordingly, any claims or litigation regarding Vringo’s infringement of intellectual property of a third party by Vringo or its users could have a material adverse effect on Vringo’s business and prospects.

Third party infringement claims could also significantly limit Vringo Studio products and the content available in Vringo’s content library. The Vringo Studio tool allows users to access video from multiple sites on the web or from their computer and then edit and send these video clips to their mobile phones as customized video ringtones. These websites could choose to block Vringo from accessing their content for violating their terms of service by allowing users to download clips or for any other reason, which could significantly limit the availability of content in the Vringo Studio. Additionally, while Vringo employs special

TABLE OF CONTENTS

software that seeks to determine whether a clip is copyrighted or otherwise restricted, it is not feasible for Vringo to determine whether users of Vringo Studio own or acquire appropriate intellectual property permissions to use each clip before it is downloaded. Therefore, Vringo requires users of the Vringo Studio to certify that they have the rights to use the content that they desire to send to their phone. Additionally, while the majority of the clips in Vringo’s content library are either licensed by Vringo directly or are public domain or creative commons, Vringo’s content library contains certain clips which Vringo has not licensed from the content owner. As a result, Vringo may receive cease-and-desist letters, or other threats of litigation, from website hosts and content owners asserting that Vringo is infringing on their intellectual property or violating the terms and conditions of their websites. In such a case, Vringo will remove or attempt to obtain licenses for such content or obtain additional content from other websites. However, there is no assurance that Vringo will be able to enter into license agreements with content owners. Consequently, Vringo may be forced to remove a portion of its content from its library and significantly limit the availability of content in the Vringo Studio. This would negatively impact Vringo’s user experience and may cause users to cancel Vringo’s service and make Vringo’s service less attractive to its partners.

If Vringo is unable to enter into or maintain distribution arrangements with major mobile carriers and/or other partners and develop and maintain its existing strategic relationships with mobile carriers, Vringo will be unable to distribute its products effectively or generate significant revenue.

Vringo’s strategy for distributing its applications and services is dependent upon establishing distribution arrangements with major mobile carriers and other partners. Vringo currently has distribution arrangements with Etisalat (Emirates Telecom), Orange (Everything Everywhere), Vodafone, Verizon, Maxis, Celcom (Axiata Berhard), Hungama Mobile and Du. Vringo needs to develop and maintain strategic relationships with these entities in order for them to market its service to their end users. While Vringo has entered into agreements with the aforementioned mobile carriers pursuant to which Vringo’s service may be made available to their end-users, such agreements are not exclusive and generally do not obligate the partner to market or distribute Vringo’s service. In addition, a number of Vringo’s distribution agreements allow the mobile carrier to terminate its rights under the agreement at any time and for any reason upon 30 days’ notice. Vringo is dependent upon the subsequent success of these partners in performing their responsibilities and sufficiently marketing Vringo’s service. Vringo cannot provide you any assurance that it will be able to negotiate, execute and maintain favorable agreements and relationships with any additional partners, that the partners with whom Vringo has a contractual relationship will choose to promote Vringo’s service or that such partners will be successful and/or will not pursue alternative technologies.

If Vringo is unsuccessful in entering into and maintaining content license agreements, its revenues will be negatively affected.

The success of Vringo’s service is dependent upon its providing end-users with content they desire. An important aspect of this strategy is establishing licensing relationships with third party content providers that have desirable content. Content license agreements generally have a fixed term, may or may not include provisions for exclusivity and may require Vringo to make significant minimum payments. Vringo has entered into approximately 35 content license agreements with various content providers. While Vringo’s business is not dependent on any particular content license agreement, there is no assurance that Vringo will enter into a sufficient number of content license agreements or that the ones that Vringo enters into will be profitable and will not be terminated early.

Vringo may not be able to generate revenues from certain of its prepaid mobile customers.

Vringo currently operates in markets that have a high percentage of prepaid mobile customers. Many of these users may not have a sufficient balance in their prepaid account when their free trial ends and Vringo bills them to cover the charges for subscribing to its service. As a result, the subscriber numbers that Vringo periodically discloses may not generate revenues at the expected level.

Vringo is dependent on mobile carriers and other partners to make timely payments to Vringo.

Vringo will receive its revenue from mobile carriers and other distribution partners who may delay payment to Vringo, dispute amounts owed to Vringo, or in some cases refuse to pay Vringo at all. Many of these partners are in markets where Vringo may have limited legal recourse to collect payments from these

partners. Vringo’s failure to collect payments owed to it from its partners will have an adverse effect on Vringo’s business and its results of operations.

Vringo may not be able to continue to maintain its application on all of the operating systems that it currently supports.

Some of Vringo’s applications are compatible with various mobile operating systems including Android, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Symbian, Apple’s iOS, Java, and Windows Mobile operating systems. While Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Android do not support video ringtones natively, Vringo’s development team has enabled its application to work on many devices which utilize these operating systems. The user base for the video ringtone service is spread out amongst a number of smartphone and feature phone operating systems, with applications on each aforementioned operating system representing less than 5% of the total subscribers to Vringo’s video ringtone platform. Vringo’s Facetones^TM platform, which represents less than 5% of Vringo’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, is heavily reliant upon Vringo’s Android devices users. Currently, over 96% of Vringo’s Facetones^TM users utilize the Android operating system. In addition, Vringo’s commercial agreement with ZTE is solely reliant on Vringo’s ability to maintain its support for the Android operating system. Since these operating systems do not support Vringo’s applications natively, any significant changes to these operating systems by their respective developers may prevent Vringo’s application from working properly or at all on these systems. If Vringo is unable to maintain its application on these operating systems or on any other operating systems, users of these operating systems will not be able to use Vringo’s application, which could adversely affect Vringo’s business and results of operations.

Vringo operates in the digital content market where piracy of content is widespread.

Vringo’s business strategy is partially based upon users paying Vringo for access to its content. If users believe they can obtain the same or similar content for free via other means including piracy, they may be unwilling to pay for Vringo’s service. Additionally, since Vringo’s own clips do not have any copy protection, they can theoretically be distributed by a paying user to a non-paying user without any additional payment to Vringo. If users or potential users obtain Vringo’s content or similar content without payment to Vringo, Vringo’s business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Major network failures could have an adverse effect on Vringo’s business.

Major equipment failures, natural disasters, including severe weather, terrorist acts, acts of war, cyber-attacks or other breaches of network or information technology security that affect third-party networks, transport facilities, communications switches, routers, microwave links, cell sites or other third-party equipment on which Vringo relies, could cause major network failures and/or unusually high network traffic demands that could have a material adverse effect on Vringo’s operations or its ability to provide service to Vringo’s customers. These events could disrupt Vringo’s operations, require significant resources to resolve, result in a loss of customers or impair Vringo’s ability to attract new customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on Vringo’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Vringo’s data is hosted at a remote location. Although Vringo has full alternative site data backed up, Vringo does not have data hosting redundancy. Accordingly, Vringo may experience significant service interruptions, which could require significant resources to resolve, result in a loss of customers or impair Vringo’s ability to attract new customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on Vringo’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, with the growth of wireless data services, enterprise data interfaces and Internet-based or Internet Protocol-enabled applications, wireless networks and devices are exposed to a greater degree to third-party data or applications over which Vringo has less direct control. As a result, the network infrastructure and information systems on which Vringo relies, as well as Vringo’s customers’ wireless devices, may be subject to a wider array of potential security risks, including viruses and other types of computer-based attacks, which could cause lapses in Vringo’s service or adversely affect the ability of Vringo’s customers to access its service. Such lapses could have a material adverse effect on Vringo’s business and its results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Vringo’s business depends upon its ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes and Vringo’s failure to do so could make Vringo less competitive in its industry.

The market for Vringo’s products and services is characterized by rapid change and technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. Products using new technologies or emerging industry standards could make Vringo’s products and services less attractive. Furthermore, Vringo’s competitors may have access to technology not available to Vringo, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or at a more competitive cost. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments may result in serious harm to Vringo’s business and operating results. As a result, Vringo’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to develop and market product and service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances available to Vringo’s customers, evolving industry standards and changing preferences.

Vringo’s Facetones^TM application depends upon Vringo’s continued access to Facebook® photos.
