PARKERVISION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS
Management to Host Conference Call and Webcast Today at 4:30 p.m. ET
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 10, 2015 – ParkerVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRKR), a developer and marketer of semiconductor technology solutions for wireless applications, today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
Second Quarter 2015 Business Highlights and Recent Developments
|
· |
Received decision from U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in ParkerVision v. Qualcomm. |
|
o |
CAFC upheld the district court’s ruling of non-infringement. |
|
o |
CAFC reversed the district court’s decision on invalidity ruling that ten of the eleven patent claims in the case were invalid. |
|
· |
Entered into full contingent funding arrangement for the ongoing patent infringement litigation in district court against Qualcomm, HTC and Samsung. |
|
· |
Shipped initial inventory of component products to distribution partner, RFMW Ltd. |
Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We disagree with the appellate court’s decision with regard to our patent infringement action against Qualcomm, and we intend to pursue a rehearing with the appellate court. We remain steadfast in our knowledge that our patent portfolio is a valuable asset and that these patented innovations can generate meaningful licensing and product revenue. We continue to see expanding interest in our products and services, and our litigation, licensing and funding partners are undeterred as they continue to work with us on the next steps towards enforcing our intellectual property rights and recognizing the value for those rights.”
