Round 3 Goes to Apple in Optis Patent Trial

A lawsuit that began nearly seven years ago ended Thursday after jurors determined Apple Inc. did not infringe five wireless technology patents held by Optis Wireless Technology.  

Thursday’s decision by jurors in U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap’s courtroom came after four days of trial. Jury selection took place Feb. 6. Optis had been seeking between $400 million and $600 million in damages, according to court documents.
