Type: News

VeriSign, a provider of Internet infrastructure services for the networked world, announced that it has entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with the Coalition for ICANN Transparency, CFIT's members, and specified related parties that resolves the over five-year long CFIT litigation.

Under the terms of the Agreement, no payment will be made and the parties immediately will file a dismissal with prejudice of all claims in the litigation. Further, the parties executed mutual releases from all claims now and in the future related to the litigation.
CFIT voluntarily agreed to dismiss its claims in their entirety with prejudice in view of recent developments in the case, including the Amended Opinion of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the subsequent orders of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division dismissing the claims regarding .Net and for disgorgement, and Verisign's motion for summary judgment.
