TRUSTID Wins Judgments to Set the Record Straight

Next Caller Must Pay TRUSTID $2.88M in Damages for Making False Advertising Statements

The Federal District Court of Delaware has awarded Neustar, Inc. $1.44M in compensatory damages and another $1.44M in punitive damages due to Next Caller willfully and intentionally making false advertising statements about the performance of its VeriCall product. The jury also found that Next Caller was unable to prove that any of TRUSTID’s three pre-answer authentication patents it challenged were invalid. Lastly, the jury determined that Next Caller did not infringe the asserted TRUSTID patents.

“We are deeply grateful to the judge, court staff, and jurors for their commitment to enabling this trial to proceed safely during these challenging times,” said Robert McKay, Senior Vice President, Risk Solutions at Neustar. “We pursued this action against Next Caller to ensure marketplace integrity and protect our intellectual property. We are gratified that the jury validated the strength of Neustar’s patents on pre-answer caller ID authentication, exposed Next Caller’s false advertising claims and awarded damages to further reinforce the value that Neustar uniquely delivers to the market with its pre-answer solution.”

The asserted TRUSTID caller ID authentication patents previously withstood five other attempts by Next Caller to invalidate them before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and this same court.

“Neustar remains committed to protecting our intellectual property on behalf of our clients, and we are exploring options for appealing the infringement verdict,” said Kevin Hughes, Executive Vice President and General Counsel at Neustar.
