Limelight Networks Files Petition to the Supreme Court of the United States

Limelight Networks (Nasdaq:LLNW), a global leader in
digital content delivery, is seeking review by the Supreme Court of
the United States of the Federal Circuit’s decision to reinstate
the 2008 jury verdict that Limelight infringed an Akamai patent.
Limelight filed its petition with the Supreme Court earlier
today.
Limelight believes that the Federal Circuit’s newly created
conduct-attribution standard improperly expands the scope of
liability in a fashion that was neither intended by Congress nor
consistent with prior legal precedent. As the petition notes, prior
to the August 2015 decision to reinstate the jury verdict, the
Federal Circuit repeatedly ruled that the district court had
correctly determined that Limelight did not infringe Akamai's
patent. The court gave no adequate explanation for its sudden
reversal.
“The court’s decision to abandon longstanding, clear and
easy-to-follow rules of engagement in favor of an ambiguous
‘particular facts presented’ standard for infringement liability
deprives parties of fair notice concerning the scope of patent
protection and ensures a significant increase in needlessly
burdensome litigation throughout the technology world,” said Bob
Lento, Limelight’s chief executive officer. “We are hopeful that
the Supreme Court will address this issue of extraordinary
importance and reverse the Federal Circuit’s rootless and erroneous
standard. While we continue to pursue all available options, I want
to thank our customers, peers in the industry and employees for
their support. We remain focused on improving our operational and
financial performance and will report our full year results
on February 9th.”
