EDTX Federal Judge Tosses, then Reinstates $75M Patent Judgment

The on-again, off-again $75 million patent infringement judgment for Ericsson is back again. And another $35 million has been added to the award.

Two months ago, U.S. Magistrate Roy Payne threw out a $75 million verdict against Chinese cell phone maker TCL Communication Technology Holdings for willfully infringing an Ericsson patent covering a method and system for controlling access to a platform for a mobile terminal for a wireless communications system.
