Judge Gilstrap Won’t Permanently Enjoin Samsung After Jury’s Infringement Finding 

U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap has determined Collision Communications, a patent holder that secured a $445.5 million infringement verdict against Samsung Electronics last year, failed to show it was also entitled to a permanent injunction to prohibit ongoing infringement. 

On Monday, Judge Gilstrap issued an 18-page opinion and order explaining where Collision fell short in its quest to prove a permanent injunction was the appropriate remedy in the case. The parties argued the issue before Judge Gilstrap May 11 during a roughly two-hour hearing.
