WOBURN, Mass.-Boston Communications Group Inc. said it will contest a class-action suit brought by some shareholders in the wake of last month’s $128 million patent-infringement verdict.
The new suit seeks unspecified damages against the wireless network access management and back-end services provider, claiming among other things that BCGI failed to disclose adverse facts regarding last month’s suit by Freedom Wireless. An eight-person jury found that BCGI had infringed on Freedom’s patents, awarding Freedom a judgment that could soar past $400 million.
BCGI said it has “meritorious defenses” to the allegations and will contest the new suit, as well as appeal the Freedom judgment.
