Vringo Inc. jumped the most in 14 months after it won a patent ruling entitling it to additional royalties from Google Inc. over its AdWords product.
A modified version of AdWords is “nothing more than a colorable variation of the infringing system,” U.S. District Judge Raymond Jackson in Norfolk, Virginia, said in an opinion posted on the court’s website today. The royalty rate will be determined later, he said.
