UNWIRED PLANET, INC. COMMENTS ON GOOGLE MARKMAN RULING
RENO, NV Dec. 15, 2014 Unwired Planet, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPIP) today commented on the claim construction order in their pending case against Google.
Unwired Planet received a claim construction order on Friday, December 12th in the
companys case against Google. A link to the ruling is available on the companys website or at
http://www.unwiredplanet.com/storage/blog-resources/021914%20Memorandum%20Opinion%20D.I.%2062.pdf.
Our initial perception is that these results are disappointingly negative and will materially impact our case, said Phil Vachon, chairman of the board. The company and our attorneys are currently evaluating available options, and we intend to supply investors with additional information upon completion of this analysis. Our other cases proceed unaffected.
