ROMANIAN COURT ANNOUNCES FAVORABLE RULING FOR VRINGO; PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST ZTE ROMANIA REMAINS IN PLACE

ZTE Romania's Latest Challenge To Overturn Romanian Preliminary Injunction Fails

NEW YORK - May 8, 2015 - Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG), a company engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of intellectual property, today announced that, yesterday, the Bucharest Tribunal in Romania denied ZTE Romania's motion for a preliminary injunction against Vringo Infrastructure, Inc.

ZTE Romania S.R.L. ("ZTE Romania") had sought a preliminary injunction against Vringo, which would have allowed ZTE Romania to temporarily resume the commercialization of 4G LTE equipment in Romania, thereby effectively side-stepping the preliminary injunction granted against ZTE Romania. Following yesterday's ruling, the preliminary injunction against ZTE Romania remains in place. ZTE Romania retains the right to appeal yesterday's decision.

"This decision marks the most recent in a series of failed attempts by ZTE Romania to overturn or circumvent the preliminary injunction against ZTE Romania," said David Cohen, Vringo Chief Legal and IP Officer. "Vringo has numerous issues with ZTE Romania's license proposal. Put simply, it is not FRAND. Many of the licensing terms are over-reaching and well outside industry norms," Mr. Cohen continued.

 Vringo has twice offered term sheets for a global license to its standard-essential patent ("SEP") portfolio to ZTE Corporation, the parent company of ZTE Romania. Vringo has also offered to have a UK court, a United States court (in a case in which ZTE sued Vringo), as well as a neutral arbitration panel determine the terms of such a global license. Each time, ZTE has refused (and/or attempted to stall) any third party determination of a license on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory ("FRAND") terms. ZTE's refusal is inconsistent with the model established in the European Commission's Samsung case. Vringo has also provided a complete global license agreement to ZTE for its review. ZTE, to date, has refused to discuss this agreement.
