Google Is Ordered to Pay Higher Royalty Rate to Vringo in Patent Dispute "Vringo Shares Surge as Judge's Ruling Could Be Worth $1 Billion to the Small Tech Firm"
By BEN FOX RUBIN
Updated Jan. 29, 2014 1:00 p.m. ET
Vringo Inc., VRNG +20.65% a small patent and technology company, gained a significant victory in its ongoing patent battle with Google Inc. GOOG -1.43% and other companies after a Virginia district judge Tuesday raised the future royalty rate Vringo stands to receive.
Introducing WSJD, the Journal's new home for tech news, analysis and product reviews.
The new royalty rate, in addition to past awards, are worth about $1 billion for Vringo, according to a person familiar with the matter. Analysts previously had projected future royalties from the suit to be worth several hundred million dollars.
The case, however, faces an ongoing appeals process, which could reduce the size of the estimated awards.
Nonetheless, Vringo shares, which sometimes move sharply in response to the patent suit's rulings, surged in midday trading, putting its market value at $434 million. The company's all-time closing high, reached in October 2012, was $5.43.
Vringo had sued Google, AOL Inc., AOL -4.71% IAC/InterActiveCorp. IACI -3.05% , Gannett Co. GCI -1.69% and Target Corp. TGT -1.73% , alleging infringement of two of its patents used to select and position advertising on Internet-search results. It won the case in November 2012, and it has been moving through post-trial litigation since then.
Google is considered the primary defendant in the suit.
The judge in the case last week determined that a new system designed by Google last year continued to infringe the patents. Following that decision, the judge on Tuesday raised a running royalty rate granted to Vringo to 6.5% from 3.5% because the defendents were deemed to be willfully infringing Vringo's patents.
"We believe strongly in our pending appeal in this matter, and we anticipate seeking Federal Circuit review of today's decision as well," Google patent counsel Jennifer Polse said.

CNR watch it...hmmm buzzz http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=CNR&p=D&b=3&g=0&i=t30809002647&r=1391022554469
Sony Corp. (6758) had its credit rating cut to junk by Moody’s Investors Service as Japan’s biggest television maker struggles to capture consumer demand for smartphones and tablet computers.
The rating was lowered to Ba1, one level below investment grade, from Baa3 and the outlook is stable, Moody’s said in an e-mailed statement today. Sony is also rated junk at Fitch Ratings, while Standard & Poor’s has the company on the second-lowest investment grade.
Sony, which posted a surprise loss in the September quarter, is battling shrinking demand for TVs and personal computers as consumers switch to mobile devices produced by Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics (005930) Co. Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai is trying to turn around earnings at the Tokyo-based company by wringing benefits out of holdings from consumer electronics to mobile phones and entertainment.
“Sony’s profitability is likely to remain weak and volatile,” Moody’s said in the statement. “We expect the majority of its core consumer electronics businesses -- such as TVs, mobile, digital cameras and personal computers -- to continue to face significant downward earnings pressure.”
The PC industry had its worst year in 2013, with shipments dropping 10 percent amid the shift to mobile devices. Sony in October cut its annual sales forecast for Vaio computers to 5.8 million units from 6.2 million and said the business needed fundamental reform.

Slumping Televisions
“We’ll continue explaining to the rating company the situations related to our businesses and financials,” Yumi Takahashi, a Tokyo-based spokeswoman for Sony, said by phone today.
Shares of Sony fell 3 percent to 1,711 at the close of trade in Tokyo today. Sony is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on Feb. 6.
The cost to insure Sony debt climbed 60 basis points this year to 200 basis points on Jan. 24, headed for the biggest increase since the 118 jump 17 months ago, according to data provider CMA.
The Markit iTraxx Japan index has risen 17 to 85 so far this year, while the gauge for North American corporate bond risk added 10 to 73.
Forecast Cut
“Moody’s downgrading Sony before its earnings result at this timing makes investors more worried about Sony,” said Mana Nakazora, the chief credit analyst in Tokyo at BNP Paribas SA. “Investors have thought Sony was moving toward recovery but the downgrade by Moody’s will make people think Sony is still struggling.”
Sony in October cut its sales outlook for Bravia models by 6.7 percent and said it expected to sell 14 million liquid-crystal display sets instead of its previous projection for 15 million.
Sony’s share of global TV sales fell to 7.5 percent in the third quarter last year from 8.1 percent the previous quarter, according to NPD DisplaySearch. Sony trails Samsung and LG Electronics Inc.
The value of global TV shipments dropped 11 percent to $98.4 billion last year, the third consecutive annual decline, according to an estimate from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Sony’s TV business has lost money for nine straight years.
Sliding Share
Today’s cut “probably reflects the rating company’s view that the year-end shopping season might have been tough,” said Junya Ayada, a Tokyo-based analyst at Daiwa Securities Group Inc.
Hirai has committed to making TVs, and Sony is introducing ultra high definition sets that cost as much as $25,000. Hirai also is focusing on the new PlayStation 4 game console released last year and Xperia smartphone shipments.
While the PS4 has posted record sales, Japan’s biggest electronics exporter is also being hit in its camera and camcorder businesses, as mobile devices from Samsung and Apple with more sophisticated lenses and sensors eat into demand.
Sony’s Hollywood film studio began cutting jobs, including its head of technology, as the unit moves forward with $250 million in expense reductions pledged by Hirai, the company said in a statement Jan. 22.

RSH looks poised for a turnaround. Some good recent moves and management additions. Picking up an investor who takes an 8% share is good, too.
I think ACST is a definite mid/long play. Watching it$$$$

Reality check... S&P futures up 45 pts since yesterday's low, Dow up almost 400 points. On negative US economic data today & simply because the school-yard politicians might actually do their jobs soon?
Is anything really better now than it was a week ago from an economic standpoint? Crazy. The markets don't have much link to fundamentals anymore.
And with this type of knee-jerk reaction in the markets, charts/technicals aren't useful either. More helpful would be a crystal ball as to which direction the big dogs & media will manipulate the markets in.
