Wi-LAN Loses Appeal in LG Patent Case

December 12, 2012 |

OTTAWA -- Wi-LAN Inc. ("WiLAN") (TSX:WIN)(NASDAQ: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.
