Part of new SA article that pertains to VRNG:Suing much bigger competitors has helped to get Vringo (VRNG) notoriety. It recently won a large jury verdict against Google (GOOG), related to Vringo's search patents. The jury awarded Vringo 3.5%, however, the lawyers are fighting over whether this is 3.5% of the 20.5% revenue increase, or if it is like the math that the jury did, 3.5% of 2.5%. This question will be huge for Vringo, and I lean towards the former because that was the evidence presented to the jury, regardless of any sort of mathematical error by the jury. Vringo has some important court dates coming up, including when the judge makes his final ruling. The date is not known by either side likely, so it could come at any time. Also, Vringo recently filed lawsuits against both Microsoft (MSFT) and ZTE. Microsoft Vringo is suing for a similar thing as Google, related to the way in which Microsoft's bing search engine ranks ads. Whereas Vringo is suing ZTE in Britain and Germany, related to patents that Vringo acquired from Nokia, related to telecom infrastructure. The upcoming case against ZTE can also represent a huge catalyst for Vringo, as the courts in Germany are much faster than the courts in America, and there has recently been speculation that this case could go to court as early as October of 2013. Vringo over the next few months will definitely be an important stock to watch, if it gets what it wants out of Google, then Vringo's patents will be hard for Microsoft to defend against as well.
