PHOENIX, Aug. 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW), a leader in Digital Presence Management, today released the following comment regarding today's Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit en bank opinion in the ongoing litigation with Akamai.

"Today's Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit en bank opinion in the ongoing litigation with Akamai does not substantiate Akamai's claims that Limelight infringes Akamai's patents, nor does it mean that Limelight owes any damages to Akamai. The Court's decision effectively sets aside the jury's original verdict. Under the new inducement theory articulated by the en bank Court, Limelight continues to believe it does not infringe and will pursue all procedural avenues to vindication."
