AT&T, Nokia Get $166.3M Infringement Verdict Axed

A panel of Federal Circuit judges determined that the “confusing and unclear” testimony of an infringement expert cannot support a Texas jury’s $166.3 million patent infringement verdict against Nokia of America and AT&T Mobility. 

In a trial before U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap that concluded Jan. 13, 2023, a jury determined Finesse Wireless was entitled to the lump sum damages from AT&T and Nokia for infringing two patents related to intermodulation interference, a longstanding problem for wireless networks.
