Vringo, Inc.: ZTE WITHDRAWS PETITIONS FOR INTER PARTES REVIEW OF VRINGO PATENTS

NEW YORK - June 8, 2015 - Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG), a company engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of intellectual property, today announced that ZTE has withdrawn petitions for the Inter Partes Review ("IPR") of five of Vringo's United States Patents.

ZTE's United States subsidiary, ZTE (USA) Inc., filed petitions for IPR of five of Vringo's United States Patents on February 5, 2015. While Vringo has asserted counterparts of all five patents against ZTE in other jurisdictions, Vringo has never asserted those United States Patents against ZTE. On April 7, 2015, ZTE filed corrected IPR petitions for each patent. On May 11, 2015, ZTE filed second corrected IPR petitions for each patent. In a ruling, issued on June 2, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") of the United States Patent and Trademark Office held that ZTE was not permitted to file such corrected petitions, and, instead, should have filed new petitions. In its ruling, the PTAB gave ZTE leave to withdraw its IPR petitions by June 5, 2015. On June 5, 2015, ZTE filed motions to dismiss without prejudice all five of the IPR petitions filed against Vringo's United States Patents.

"ZTE's latest litigation misstep is another example of its meritless campaign to discredit Vringo," said Andrew Perlman, Chief Executive Officer of Vringo. "Vringo is confident that courts around the world will continue to judge Vringo's cases against ZTE on their merits," Mr. Perlman continued.
