- The federal appeals court that ruled against Vringo (VRNG) in its infringement suit against Google has denied its petition for en banc review of the ruling.
- Vringo says it will now seek a Supreme Court review. Lawyer David Boies: "This case presents important questions of patent law and the role of juries in patent cases that require further review. The dissenting opinion is a powerful signal that this case warrants attention."
- The SC only hears a small fraction of the cases appealed to it. Federal courts have been frequently ruling against IP licensing firms this year, as Unwired Planet can attest.
