Loses Optis case
Fruity cargo cult Apple did not invent the technology used in its iPhones, iPads, and Watches and flouted technology developed by Optis, a court has ruled.
Apple must pay $300 million in royalties following a retrial in a patent dispute, a Texas jury determined Friday. The jury found that Apple should pay patent company Optis Wireless Technology and its related companies because the technology Apple allegedly infringed Optis’ patents.
It was not all bad for Apple, the Texas jury wanted Apple to pay Optis $506 million in the dispute, but a judge vacated that award in April, and ordered a new trial focused on damages only.
US District Judge Rodney Gilstrap said the first jury had not been allowed to consider whether the amount was awarded on the “fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory”, or FRAND, terms required in standard-essential patent cases.
