Ericsson Inc. et al v. TCL Communication Technology Holdings, Ltd. et al, No. 2:15-cv-00011 (E.D. Tex. May 10, 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.

After a four- day trial, t he jury unanimously found that TCL willfully infringed claims 1 and 5 of United States Patent No. 7,149,510 by selling phones and devices equipped with the Google Android operating system, and the jury awarded $75 million as a lump sum royalty.1 The court previously ordered a new trial on damages after finding Ericsson’s damages theory unreliable, see ECF No. 456, but the court now reconsiders that order, reinstates the jury’s verdict in full, and resolves all other remaining disputes.
