BEDFORD, Mass., June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boston Communications Group, Inc. , previously announced that the non-jury trial to consider the Company's unenforcability defense in the patent infringement lawsuit brought by Freedom Wireless, Inc. against the Company commenced in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts on June 7, 2005. On June 13, 2005, the presiding judge suspended the non-jury trial and ordered mediation between the Company and the other co-defendants in the lawsuit and Freedom Wireless, Inc. In the event that the mediation is unsuccessful and the parties are unable to reach a settlement, the non-jury trial is currently scheduled to resume on July 14, 2005 and could last approximately one to two weeks after it commences.

bcgi continues to believe that it does not infringe the Freedom Wireless patents and that the patents are invalid in light of prior art. If the Court rules in favor of bcgi and its co-defendants in the non-jury trial, the patents held by Freedom Wireless would become unenforceable, a decision that Freedom Wireless, Inc. may choose to appeal. If the Court rules against bcgi and the co-defendants in the non-jury trial, the Company expects to appeal the Court's decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. bcgi will likely be required to provide collateral or post a bond in order to appeal the Court's decision. However, the Company also expects to file motions for judgment as a matter of law in favor of bcgi and a motion for a new trial or in the alternative, a reduction in the damages awarded by the jury.
