WiLAN Provides Litigation Update

OTTAWA, Canada – August 8, 2013 – Wi-LAN Inc. (“WiLAN” or the “Company”) (TSX:WIN) (NASD:WILN) today announced that on August 7, 2013, Judge Donald Middlebrooks of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued written orders consolidating two ongoing litigations between WiLAN and Research in Motion Limited, cases 1:12-cv-20232 and 1:12‑cv-24349, into one single litigation. The consolidated cases will be presided over by Judge Middlebrooks.

WiLAN also announced that Judge Middlebrooks issued a claim construction Opinion and Order, on August 7, 2013, in this litigation.

In the litigation, WiLAN is alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,260,168, 5,515,369 and 6,240,088 (collectively, the “Patents”). The claim construction hearing, also known as the Markman hearing, with respect to these Patents was held before Judge Middlebrooks on July 26, 2013.

Overall WiLAN believes the Order provides a good basis to proceed with the case.
