WDTX Jury Finds Lyft Infringed Patent

Even though a jury in the Western District of Texas recently found Lyft infringed a patent and owes damages, the rideshare company is hailing the result as a victory.

The jury awarded damages Thursday of $1.05 million as a lump sum to Quartz Auto Technologies. Quartz had alleged in its lawsuit that Lyft infringed five of its patents, but by the time the case made it to the jury, only one infringement claim remained.
