Drama is all over playing in Vringo, Inc.(NYSEAMEX:VRNG) as the stock has recovered almost all of its losses made earlier in the session.  

At around 3 PM, the stock was down as much as 57% to low of $1.75  as reports circulate the company has run into a setback in its lawsuit against Google (GOOG) regarding the latter’s alleged infringement of fundamental patents on Internet search.

May be the sell off was partly driven by a typo on PilotOnline.com, which posted  that Vringo was claiming damages of only $500,000, a figure that was changed to $500 million.

The stock closed lower by 36% to $2.56 in the regular session. However, the stock is up 34.50% in after hours session to $3.44.
