Texas Judge Tosses $112M Infringement Verdict Against Samsung 

U.S. District Judge Robert Schroeder III has determined a $111.7 million jury verdict against Samsung Electronics cannot stand in a patent infringement case brought by Maxell Ltd. 

In a three-page order, the federal judge granted Samsung’s motion for judgment as a matter of law that it had not infringed asserted claims in three patents covering technology used in smart phones and smart home appliances. The judge also invalidated asserted claims in two of the patents in the Sept. 18 order.
