EXHIBIT 29
SPHERIX CLOSES ROCKSTAR PATENT ACQUISITION TRANSACTION
AND ENHANCES ITS PATENT PORTFOLIO IN WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS AND TELECOMMUNICATION SECTORS-ROCKSTAR
ACQUIRES EQUITY STAKE IN SPHERIX-VENTURE TO BE HEADED BY
SEASONED MONETIZATION EXECUTIVE
TYSONS CORNER, VA--(Marketwire – July 29, 2013) - Spherix Incorporated (NASDAQ:
SPEX) an intellectual property development and life sciences company, today announced that it
has closed the previously announced agreement to acquire a group of seven patents in the mobile
communication sector, from Rockstar Consortium, the owner of over 4,000 patents formerly owned by
Nortel Networks.
Under the terms of the agreement, Spherix acquired four families of mobile communication patents in
exchange for initial consideration of up-front cash and $1,000,000 in Spherix common stock issued at
$5.65 per share. Rockstar will also receive a percentage of future profits after recovery of patent
monetization costs and an initial priority return on investment to Spherix. The shares are subject to a
lockup agreement restricting future sales, subject to the satisfaction of certain price and volume targets.
Spherix Interim CEO Harvey Kesner stated, "We believe that we have entered a new phase of our
development and are pleased to announce successful completion of our recent patent and monetization
partnership with Rockstar. We have been working with our colleagues at Rockstar to identify
opportunities for collaboration between us and this resulted in the selection of this suite of seven patents
that cover mobile communication devices. We selected a suite of patents with well documented and
easily understandable technology so that we can quickly proceed to seek agreements to support
commercialization efforts and enforcement, if required. This acquisition, coupled with our recently
announced acquisition of several hundred patents issued to Harris Corporation, allows us to
expand our activities in the wireless communications and telecommunication sectors including antenna
technology, Wi-Fi, base station functionality, and cellular. Our incoming CEO Anthony Hayes was
instrumental in negotiating these contracts and securing appropriate patents for enforcement. As has
been widely reported, Anthony is a seasoned monetization executive with numerous “wins” under his
belt, who will oversee our licensing and enforcement efforts and has broad access to patent owners and
inventors."
