134 US patents and 33 foreign patents here. Some expired but still have protection for past actions. Convertibles @ .44 and .25. Good upside here. Patent vultures. Recent Apple suit looks like they should appeal and might have a shot.

JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 29, 2019 / ParkerVision, Inc. (OTCQB: PRKR), reported today that the District Court of Munich, Germany ruled that Apple does not infringe the German part of ParkerVision's '853 European receiver patent. The Munich district court, led by Judge Zigann, issued a no infringement ruling based on the court's interpretation of the asserted claims. This decision comes following an oral hearing last month.

Jeffrey Parker, CEO of ParkerVision stated, "The court's ruling reaches conclusions that we believe are directly contradicted by the disclosure of the '853 Patent and the plain language of the claims. For example, the patent requires the existence of a 'delay means.' The court found that the term 'delay means' was limited only to digital circuit implements even though the patent explicitly provides that the implementation of the delay means could also be achieved using analog circuitry. Apple's products use analog delay means. We are considering our options for appeal of this decision."

Our technologies and integrated circuit products face competition from incumbent providers of transceivers, such as Broadcom, Fujitsu, Intel, MediaTek, NVidia, Qualcomm, STMicroelectronics, Marvell, Texas Instruments, and others, as well as incumbent providers of power amplifiers, including companies such as Anadigics, Qorvo, and Skyworks, among others. Each of our competitors, however, also has the potential of becoming a licensing or product customer for our technologies. To date, we are unaware of any competing or emerging RF technologies, other than infringing products , that provide all the simultaneous benefits that certain of our technologies enable, including highly accurate transmission and reception of RF carriers that use less power than traditional architectures and components, thereby extending battery life, reducing heat and enabling certain size, cost, performance, and packaging advantages.

We consider our intellectual property, including patents, patent applications, trademarks, and trade secrets to be significant to our competitive positioning. We have a program to file applications for and obtain patents, copyrights, and trademarks in the U.S. and in selected foreign countries where we believe filing for such protection is appropriate to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology and products. As of December 31, 2018, we had 134 U.S. and 33 foreign patents related to our RF technologies. In addition, we have a number of U.S. and foreign patent applications pending. We estimate the economic lives of our patents to be the shorter of fifteen years from issuance or twenty years from the earliest application date. Our current portfolio of issued patents have expirations ranging from 2019 to 2034. We had approximately 52 patents that expired in 2018, including certain patents that are the subject of enforcement actions. We believe these expired patents continue to have significant economic value to us as a result of our ability to collect past damages in the event of a successful enforcement action.

We have aggregate principal of $1.2 million in convertible notes outstanding at December 31, 2018. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at fixed conversion prices, which may be less than the market price of our common stock at the time of conversion. If the entire principal is converted into shares of common stock, we would be required to issue an aggregate of up to 2.7 million shares of common stock. In addition, in the first quarter of 2019 , we issued an additional aggregate principal amount of $1.3 million in convertible notes which, if converted at the fixed conversion price, would result in the issuance of an additional 5.2 million shares of our common stock. If we issue all of these shares, the ownership of our current stockholders will be diluted.

ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRKR) (“ParkerVision”), a developer and marketer of hardware and software technologies and products for wireless applications, today announced results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017.

Fourth Quarter and 2017 Business Highlights and Recent Developments

• New Products

Launched Milo® brand networking products with product shipments beginning in mid-October 2017.
Recognized fourth quarter 2017 sales through Amazon.com and milowifi.com of approximately $100,000.
Expanded sales channel in first quarter of 2018 with the addition of Walmart.com and NeweggBusiness.com with plans for additional retail and wholesale distribution in the second quarter of 2018.
Expecting television launch of Milo product by national retail firm in second quarter 2018.
• Licensing & Litigation

November 2017 hearing held in RF receiver infringement case against Apple in Germany for products utilizing Intel chips.

- Court invited the Company to submit additional briefs to clarify certain elements of infringement claims.

- Court denied Apple’s request for bond; however Company plans to post bond in order to expedite proceedings.

- Decision in this case expected as early as the second quarter of 2018.
U.S. District Court denies Qualcomm’s motion to move case from Florida to California and denies Apple’s motion to dismiss case for improper venue.

- Date for claim construction hearing expected soon.
Date set for validity hearing for RF transmitter patent in Germany in October 2018.

-Results of this hearing will directly impact the LG and Apple cases in Germany for products using Qualcomm chips.

- German counsel expects decision immediately following October hearing.
Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with the results thus far from the launch of our Milo product line. We’ve received feedback from many Milo users regarding their positive experiences with the product and with our excellent U.S. based customer service team. Milo users have also provided feedback as to additional features they would like to see in the product line and we expect to offer new features and additional products to the Milo family in the near future. As pleased as I am with where we are with this product, I am even more excited about where we are going. We believe our sales channel expansion plans that are already underway for 2018, coupled with continued improvements and expansion of the Milo product line will result in significant increases in revenue and margins for 2018 and beyond.”

Parker continued, “We have several near-term milestones approaching in our patent enforcement cases both in the U.S. and Germany. We believe that our case in Munich involving our RF receiver technology will come to a favorable decision, possibly as early as the second quarter of 2018, which would provide a catalyst for resolving the associated dispute. Likewise, we look forward to a claim construction hearing in the District Court in Jacksonville, Florida in the coming months as we continue to push for expedited court dates in this case. We remain confident that staying the course despite the time and resources involved, will ultimately result in a successful licensing program for our RF technologies.”

Fourth quarter and Year ended 2017 Financial Results

• Fourth Quarter Results:

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $6.3 million, or $0.32 per common share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million, or $0.43 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017, which excluded the effects of share-based compensation expense and changes in fair value of our contingent repayment obligation, was $5.0 million, or $0.26 per common share, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.23 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2016.
The increases in both GAAP and non-GAAP net losses for the fourth quarter of 2017 over the fourth quarter of 2016 is largely the result of increased costs associated with our Milo product launch and increased litigation expenses for our patent enforcement actions.
• Year End Results:

GAAP net loss for the year ended 2017 was $19.3 million, or $1.09 per common share, compared with a net loss of $21.5 million, or $1.76 per common share, for the year ended 2016.
Non-GAAP net loss for the year ended 2017 was $16.4 million, or $0.93 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $14.4 million, or $1.18 per share, for the year ended 2016.
On an annual basis, our GAAP net loss improved by approximately $2.2 million, despite a $4 million decrease in licensing revenue and increased operating expenses to support our Milo product development and marketing launch. This improvement is a result of a decrease in the loss recognized on fair value adjustments to our contingent payment obligation as well as an overall $4.5 million decrease in litigation expenses from 2016 to 2017.
• Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights:

As of December 31, 2017, we had $1.0 million in inventory, including $0.5 million in finished product of our Milo systems and are well positioned to support sales growth.
We used cash for operations of approximately $14.1 million in 2017 compared to $14.4 million in 2016. Our operating costs in 2017 were primarily funded by approximately $13.7 million in sales of our equity securities, including proceeds of approximately $12.6 million from sales of common stock at market prices under at-market issuance sales agreements.
We received $1.0 million in additional funding from our litigation funding partner in December 2017 to support ongoing international litigation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures that Supplement GAAP Measures

We use both generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures for assessing our operating performance. The non-GAAP measures we use include Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share. These non-GAAP measures exclude the effect on net loss and net loss per share of (i) changes in fair value of our contingent payment obligation and (ii) share-based compensation expense. We consider these non-GAAP measures to provide relevant supplemental information to assist investors in better understanding our operating results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three months and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 follows:

ParkerVision Receives Favorable Venue Ruling in Patent Infringement Case Against Qualcomm and ApplePress Release | 03/12/2018
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRKR) (“ParkerVision”), a developer and marketer of semiconductor technology solutions for wireless applications, announced today that on March 8, 2018, Judge Brian J. Davis of the Federal Court in the Middle District of Florida denied Qualcomm’s motion to transfer to the Southern District of California and denied Apple’s motion to dismiss for improper venue pertaining to ParkerVision’s patent infringement suit against Qualcomm and Apple (Case No. 3:15-cv-1477).

On January 9, 2018, the Magistrate Judge, at the request of Judge Davis, filed a report and recommendation with the court regarding the motion to transfer filed by Qualcomm and the motion to dismiss filed by Apple, recommending denial of both motions. Qualcomm filed the only objection to the report and recommendation. The court had the ability to accept, reject or modify in whole or in part the findings or recommendations of the magistrate judge.

“We are pleased that Judge Davis has agreed with ParkerVision that the Middle District of Florida is the proper venue for this case. We anticipate the case can now move expeditiously toward a Markman hearing, and we look forward to the court’s guidance on claim construction,” said ParkerVision CEO Jeffrey Parker.

ParkerVision’s Milo™ WiFi Product is Now Available on Walmart.comPress Release | 03/05/2018

[Northstar42]

Looks like this MB has gone dark That's a shame because PRKR has hit a bottom IMO and has a shot to rebound quite strongly. Just need a little good news and with such a small number of shares, the upside is relatively high.

[3gbroker]

This is what confuses me on PRKR, they report zero revenue this quarter, but what happen with our deal with Samsung? Undisclosed amount plus Samsung would be paying a royalty to PRKR. So are you telling me Samsung manufactured not one cell phone in the past 3 months? Can anyone assist me with this?

[SaifCAL]

Does anyone know what products do they have? do they produce any revenue?

Nice pullback Friday trend intact :)

Yeah, looking for an investor's response but thanks for your reply all the same.

[Mongol76]

I speak as a trader, not as an investor.

The only thing we know for sure is that since yesterday, the trend is bullish.

It will continue to be bullish until it's not.

[realfast95]

ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRKR), a developer and marketer of semiconductor technology solutions for wireless applications, today announced that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) has issued its latest decisions with regard to the petitions for Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) filed by Qualcomm against ParkerVision patents, increasing the favorable decisions to over six out of the ten petitions originally filed.

ParkerVision received early favorable rulings in March 2016 when the PTAB rejected Qualcomm’s request for institution on three IPR challenges to a ParkerVision patent. With these most recent PTAB decisions, ParkerVision has received three additional favorable decisions and one split decision, confirming the validity of claims from a second challenged patent. Qualcomm received favorable rulings on two IPR’s and ParkerVision chose early on not to defend one IPR challenge.

With these latest decisions, there are no further IPR’s challenging ParkerVision patents currently before the PTAB.

ParkerVision CEO Jeffrey Parker commented, “We continue to take positive steps forward in our Qualcomm proceedings and believe these results are indicative of the strength of ParkerVision’s innovations and our plan to realize the value of those assets, particularly in light of the high success rate of petitioners in invalidating patents through IPR challenges. We are pleased that the PTAB confirmed the validity of claims from both of the patents we chose to defend.”

[Dark-Rider]

Valuation: Can anyone speak intelligently to what this might be worth with a Qualcomm settlement alone and then if Apple and LG are added at some point. The survivability of multiple claims in the court order is very bad news for Qualcomm but just not sure of what is realistic number for settlement.

ParkerVision A Buy After Apple Lawsuit Expands

Summary

PRKR has amended its patent infringement complaint against Apple.

The amended complaint takes aim at the iPhone 7.

With several important dates coming up on PRKR's calendar, the stock is an aggressive buy.

ParkerVision (NASDAQ:PRKR), a developer, marketer and manufacturer of semiconductor technology is an attractive aggressive buy today after the company's announcement that it has amended to its complaint against Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), adding the alleged infringement by the iPhone maker of the German part of European Patent 1 135 853.

We have been following, and reporting on, PRKR for some time now and continue to think this stock is an attractive medium-term buy for aggressive investors.

PRKR's amended complaint additionally expands the accused products to include the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which use Intel's PMB5750 transceiver chip which is based on Intel's SMARTi architecture. With the iPhone 7 and 7 plus currently enjoying a prominent place in the cell phone market, we believe that investors and commentators alike will continue to closely follow this lawsuit.

Upcoming hearings in the Apple suit make PRKR an especially attractive buy over the next month. At the Company's request, the Munich Regional Court has now bifurcated the new claims into a second case separate from the original Apple case. This second case is scheduled for a hearing on June 29, 2017. The original complaint against Apple remains scheduled for a hearing on May 4, 2017 and accuses Apple products of infringement of the German part of European patent 1 206 831 ("the '831 Patent"). This first case includes the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and the iPad Air 2 devices, which incorporate Qualcomm transceivers.

Can PRKR pull off a suit against a giant tech leader like AAPL? The company's recent litigation success seems to suggest just that. Last July, ParkerVision reached a settlement with Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) for license of its patents. While the financial terms of the settlement were confidential, the settlement was clearly a win for ParkerVision and shares of the stock jumped. In the wake of the settlement, Samsung holds a worldwide license to use ParkerVision's patented material in its huge number of cell phones, which had been the subject of ongoing litigation by ParkerVision against the company.

Additionally, as we noted in an article last November, the Munich Regional Court has held that LG Electronics Deutschland, GmbH, a German subsidiary of LG Electronics, Inc. ("LG") infringes the '831 Patent - the patent that is also the subject of the AAPL complaint - but the court stayed the proceedings pending resolution of the related nullity, or invalidity, action in the German Federal Patent Court. A preliminary decision in the nullity action is expected by March 2017.

We continue to believe that a significant factor working in PRKR's favor in this litigation is the firm's strong team of lawyers and financial backers. PRKR has retained the Boston Law Firm of Mintz Levin to pursue this patent infringement litigation. The IP team at Mintz has a great track record of settling IP cases for plaintiffs.

PRKR also has a strong team representing the firm in Germany. The law firm of Noerr LLP is representing ParkerVision in its actions against Apple and LG. Noerr LLP is a multinational law firm of over 500 professionals, which has substantial and longstanding expertise in handling complex German, European and international patent litigation.

Additionally, the litigation has significant financial backing. Brickell Key Investments provided $11 million in restricted funds to ParkerVision in exchange for payment via the company's future expected gross proceeds from its enforcement actions and patent assets. The team at Brickell has significant investing in IP litigation.

There are a number of significant dates coming up for PRKR's litigation against Apple and LG in March, May and June on PRKR's calendar, and we believe that the stock continues to be an attractive buy for aggressive investors ahead of these dates. We continue to believe that there is a good chance that these deep-pocket defendants will settle and that any news about the settlement will move the stock. Because of PRKR's relatively low average daily trading volume, I would suggest that aggressive investors establish - or add to existing positions - over the course of several trading sessions.
