TruePosition receives $48 million payment in Patent Infringement suit

Wireless technology company TruePosition of Berwyn has received a $48 million payment from CommScope in settlement of TruePosition's patent infringement suit against CommScope's Andrews LLC subsidiary, according to a CommScope Form 8-K filing with the SEC.

CommScope paid up after a Federal Court of Appeals denied its appeal of the trial court's decision in the case and turned down a request for a rehearing. Andrews is still fighting TruePosition in another court case over disputed royalty obligations.

TruePosition provides wireless locator technologies using cell tower triangulation and other means. TruePosition is a subsidiary of Liberty Media. CommScope, based in Hickory NC, was spun off
from Horsham-based General Instrument (now part of Motorola) in 1997.
