ZTE FOUND TO VIOLATE INJUNCTION IN BRAZIL

Court-Appointed Experts Find That ZTE Sold Products In Violation Of Court Order

NEW YORK - May 19, 2015 - Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNG), a company engaged in the innovation, development and monetization of intellectual property, today announced that court-appointed experts in Brazil have issued a report stating that ZTE violated a Brazilian court injunction.

Vringo received a preliminary injunction against ZTE on April 15, 2014, prohibiting ZTE from manufacturing, using, offering for sale, selling, installing, testing, or importing any 3G, 4G, or LTE infrastructure equipment in Brazil.  The Federal and State Courts of Rio de Janeiro have, six times, denied ZTE's appeal of this injunction.

Based on evidence of a potential violation of the injunction, the State Court of Rio de Janeiro appointed experts to investigate ZTE's activities in Brazil.  According to the expert report, a December 1, 2014 raid of ZTE's warehouse in Hortolândia, São Paulo, Brazil uncovered 977 components of infringing products.  A Court officer, under the supervision of ZTE's employees, put these components under seal, preventing their movement out of ZTE's warehouse.  As a result of the raid, the experts obtained more than 7,000 ZTE invoices and, after an exhaustive investigation, determined that ZTE sold at least 360 components in violation of the injunction since April 2014.  In their report, the experts also noted that ZTE failed to produce several accounting and tax documents that ZTE had been specifically ordered to produce during the raid.

"ZTE's flagrant violation of the Court-ordered injunction in Brazil is yet another example of its refusal to play by the rules," said David Cohen, Vringo's Chief Legal and Intellectual Property Officer. "Courts around the world have taken notice of ZTE's lack of respect for intellectual property and the rule of law," Mr. Cohen continued.

Vringo now plans to file a motion for contempt with the Court requesting that punitive measures be taken against ZTE for its violation of the injunction.
