Ericsson sues UK based mobile phone company Sendo for patent
infringement

Ericsson has sued the UK based mobile phone company Sendo for patent
infringement in several countries. The complaints allege that Sendo's
mobile phone products infringe certain Ericsson patents covering GSM
and GPRS technologies. Ericsson seeks both an injunction against the
continued sale and marketing of Sendo's mobile phone products, and
monetary damages.

"Ericsson is the leading innovator in telecommunications and has made
substantial investments in the development of various
telecommunication standards," said Kasim Alfalahi, Vice President
Patent Licensing. "As a result, we have built a strong portfolio of
essential GSM and GPRS patents."

Ericsson is committed to make its technology available to all in the
industry who desire to use it on fair and reasonable terms through
licensing. Most of the world's manufacturers of GSM/GPRS mobile
phones have already joined the Ericsson patent licensing program.

"Basically, all we ask is that companies who use technology invented
by Ericsson compensate us for this, the same way we are prepared to
compensate others for our use of their technology," Kasim Alfalahi
said. "We believe that Sendo is using Ericsson patented technology,
but they have so far not signed a license agreement with Ericsson.
Under these circumstances we have no choice but to take Sendo to
court."

Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet
communications through its continuous technology leadership.
Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson
is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the
world.
