Eon Corp. IP Holdings LLC (“Eon”) filed this suit against Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (“Silver Spring”) , a utility services network provider, alleging that Silver Spring infringed three of Eon’s patents relating to ne t- works for two-way interactive communications. Following a five -day trial, the jury found the asserted claims valid and infringed, and awarded Eon $18,800,000. On Silver Spring’s motion for judgment as a matter of law, the district court reversed the jury verdict as to one of the three patents but upheld it as to the other two.
