Wi-LAN Inc. ("WiLAN")
WILN today provided a litigation update.
In January 2010, WiLAN sued LG Electronics, Inc. and LG Electronics
U.S.A., Inc. (collectively, "LG") for infringement of WiLAN's U.S.
Patent No. 5,828,402 ("the 402 patent") in the United States District
Court, Southern District of New York.
On March 7, 2012, U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that LG
did not infringe the 402 patent on a claim construction issue and
granted an LG motion for summary judgment of non-infringement.
Subsequently, WiLAN filed an appeal of Judge Kaplan's ruling with the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC"). In
support of this appeal, WiLAN participated in an oral hearing that
took place on December 5, 2012.
On December 11, 2012, the CAFC issued its ruling on the appeal. The
ruling affirmed the lower court ruling.
WiLAN is surprised and disappointed by this decision. WiLAN is
reviewing its options with counsel.
