The United States Federal District Court for the District of Massachusetts has granted an injunction against Boston Communication Group, Inc. (BCGI) and Cingular Wireless, forbidding them from continuing to sell prepaid wireless services of the type that were found to be covered by Freedom Wireless' patents. The order follows the jury's unanimous verdict on May 20, 2005 that 32 claims of two of Freedom's six U.S. patents on prepaid wireless were valid and infringed by defendants BCGI, Cingular Wireless (a joint venture between Southwestern Bell (SBC) and Bell South (BLS)), CMT Partners, AT&T Wireless and Western Wireless (recently merged into Alltel Communications, Inc. (AT)), as well as the Court's September 1, 2005 ruling that the two Freedom patents at issue in the case were fully enforceable.
