Ericsson Inc. et al v. TCL Communication Technology Holdings, Ltd. et al, No. 2:15-cv-00011 (E.D. Tex. Mar. 7, 2018)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

A four-day jury trial in this case was held in December of 2017. During trial, Ericsson presented evidence and argument that TCL infringed claims 1 and 5 of U.S. Patent No. 7,149,510 by selling phones and devices that included the Google Android operating system . The Android operating system allows a user to grant or deny a third-party application’s request to access native phone functionality, a feature that Ericsson contended was covered by the ’510 patent.
