Good Technology and MobileIron Announce Settlement of Litigation

MobileIron and Good Technology today announced that they have settled all outstanding litigation between them.

The settlement includes a narrow, non-material license agreement between Good and MobileIron and a mutual dismissal of claims.

Back in August of this year, a Northern District of California jury issued a verdict essentially of “non-ruling” in the patent infringement cases between Good Technology and MobileIron. The verdict denied all claims made on both sides in the case, clearly stating that neither Good nor MobileIron was able to enforce any claim or secure any damages in this case.

Additionally, the jury considered just three of Good Technology’s nearly 300 issued and pending international security and mobility patents.

Good has three additional patent trials scheduled against MobileIron – December 2015 in the United Kingdom, June 2016 in Germany and another U.S. (California) trial in August 2016. MobileIron had not asserted any patents against Good in any jurisdictions outside the U.S.

BlackBerry, which recently completed its acquisition of Good, was not a party to the litigation or the license and settlement agreement.

The terms of the settlement are confidential.
