BERWYN, Pa., Aug. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A judge in federal district court
in Philadelphia has ruled that a landmark antitrust lawsuit filed by
TruePosition against telecom giants Ericsson (Stockholm: ERICB),
Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) and Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) will move forward.

Judge Robert Kelly, Sr., of the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, ruled in a decision issued on August 21, 2012, that
the "allegations of an illegal conspiracy between the Corporate Defendants are
plausible when viewed in context and as a whole."

Judge Kelly further stated that "[w]hen viewing the Amended Complaint in its
entirety, the allegations give rise to more than speculation... when read
together they do raise a reasonable expectation that discovery will reveal
evidence of an illegal agreement." Judge Kelly added that it was not required
that he find at this point in the litigation that the allegations were
"probable."

TruePosition's lawsuit alleges that the Defendants, including three of the
largest telecommunications companies in the world, are illegally conspiring to
eliminate an innovative technology that allows police, fire departments and
other emergency responders to more accurately locate mobile phone users during
disasters and other emergency situations.

The lawsuit alleges the three companies "hijacked" the Standard Setting
Organizations (SSOs) that govern which mobile positioning technologies will be
in the standard for future LTE "4G" wireless networks. The complaint accuses
the defendants of blocking the adoption of TruePosition's already existing and
broadly deployed technologies into the new standards for LTE, while at the
same time ensuring that their own unproven technologies were included in the
new standards.

Also named in the complaint is the standard setting organization itself: Third
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

Stuart Salen, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of TruePosition,
stated: "We are pleased with the court's careful study of the allegations and
well-reasoned decision, and look forward to proving our case."

TruePosition's technology, which has been in use in emergency response, law
enforcement and national security settings for nearly a decade, is the only
current high-accuracy network-based location technology that has been proven
to work with sufficient accuracy to meet FCC standards, and the only one to do
so reliably inside buildings. The company's positioning technology, Uplink
Time Difference of Arrival (U-TDOA), was included in the standards for the
past two generations of wireless networks – 2G and 3G and has been
successfully and widely deployed in the United States by two major wireless
service providers to support the E9-1-1 emergency location system.

More than 65 percent of emergency 9-1-1 calls in the United States now come
through mobile telephones.

TruePosition's U-TDOA has been engineered to provide the same highly accurate
positioning for LTE 4G networks as it has for the prior generations of network
technology. U-TDOA is the only high accuracy mobile positioning technology
deployed today that can find cell phone users regardless of the type of phone
in use or the software residing on that phone. It is the only technology that
can accurately locate mobile phones underground or when trapped under dense
debris or rubble.  And it is the only location technology that cannot be
disabled or spoofed at the handset. Such technology can be critically
important to emergency response during natural disasters such as tornadoes,
hurricanes or earthquakes, as well as to law enforcement in response to
criminal activity.

The case, TruePosition Inc. v. LM Ericsson Telephone Company, et. al., No.
11-4574 (U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania), was
originally filed in July, 2011. Judge Kelly dismissed that version of the
complaint in January 2012, but invited TruePosition to refile with more
specific allegations of an antitrust conspiracy. The Amended Complaint was
filed in February, 2012.
